Chapter 913: Three Hunting Wei
The battle of Xiangzhou was not isolated, at the same time as the battle of Xiangzhou, Zhu Zhu personally led 80,000 troops, falsely claiming to be 300,000 troops, crossed the frozen Yellow River, and arrived at Huaizhou on the north bank.
Just three days after the envoy Han Song left Yuancheng, Zhu Jun personally led the army to Huaizhou, which had about 15,000 Wei troops and was led by Tian Xu's brother Tian Hua.
Tian Hua was originally a prisoner, when his father Tian Chengsi was in power, Tian Hua was a mediocre and incompetent person, indulging in wine all day long, and the other dozen brothers were the same, none of them became a weapon, which made Tian Chengsi very disappointed, so he handed over the town to his nephew Tian Yue to inherit.
Huaizhou's army was led by the veteran general Zhao Lun, he was a veteran who won Tian Chenghei and Tian Yue's heavy general, and had very rich combat experience.
Zhao Lun was old, and his children and grandchildren were all hostages in Yuancheng, and he did not have the determination to break the kettle like Sima Li, so he happily handed over the military power to Tian Hua, and he only returned to Yuancheng with a few followers.
Tian Hua can only fight cocks, drink and play with women, where will he lead the army to fight, he heard that Zhu Zhu personally led 100,000 troops to Hanoi County, he was immediately panicked, and hurriedly invited the deputy general Lu Jian to discuss countermeasures.
Lu Jian was very tactful, he understood Tian Hua's thoughts, so he said cautiously: "I feel that since Zhu Zhu personally led the 100,000 army to the north, it is a large-scale attack, and they will inevitably attack Weizhou, once Ulzhou is cut off, we will have no way to retreat, not to mention that we only have 15,000 people, where can we resist the offensive of the 100,000 army, and I suggest that we should preserve our strength and retreat to Yuancheng, what does the general think?" ”
Lu Jian's words were said in Tian Hua's heart, and he said repeatedly: "Withdraw the army!" Immediately withdraw the army back to Yuancheng. ”
Lu Jian said again: "If we retreat, Zhu Jun will inevitably send cavalry to pursue, it is better for the general to lead 10,000 troops to go first, and after the humble post leads 5,000 troops to break off, cover the general's evacuation, if the last general is unfortunately killed in battle, I implore the general to take care of my wife, children and mother." ”
Tian Hua was greatly moved, and pulled Lu Jian's words: "If the general really has three longs and two shorts, your parents are my parents, and I will support them for you!" ”
Several of Lu Jian's personal soldiers next to him rolled their eyes when they heard this, and they returned their parents! His parents have died a long time ago, okay, his wife and children are also in his hometown, and they are not in Yuancheng at all, Tian Hua, a fool, really believes it.
Of course, Tian Hua was not stupid, but he was insincere, and he immediately led 10,000 troops to evacuate to Weizhou.
Lu Jian stood at the head of the city and watched Tian Hua's army go away, he couldn't help but sneer, the Wei army was full of idiots like Tian Hua, the Wei State was like a grasshopper after the autumn, and it didn't take a few days to jump, let yourself serve this kind of feudal town with no future, dream!
Early the next morning, Zhu Zhu's army arrived in Hanoi County, Lu Jianjian carved the city to surrender, and dedicated more than 100,000 stone military rations in the treasury to Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu Dayue, immediately named Lu Jian as a general, Hanoi County Duke, Huaizhou Jiedu envoy, he ordered Lu Jian to continue to guard Huaizhou, he continued to lead the army to Weizhou.
At the same time, a total of 100,000 people of Zhu Zhu's three-way army were killed in Weizhou, Bozhou and Weizhou, and Li Na also re-led 80,000 troops into Dizhou and Dezhou, Tian Xu sent the general Meng Xiyou to lead 30,000 troops to meet Li Na, but was defeated by Li Na's army in Liaocheng, Meng Xiyou was killed, and the 30,000 army was annihilated.
As the two armies entered Hebei, the entire north bank of the Yellow River was full of smoke and wheels.
The people dragged their families and mouths to flee to the north on a large scale, almost all the people of Wei had a wish, fled to the Jin State, and the Wei State strictly forbade the people to move north, but now affected by the war, the Wei State has taken care of itself, no one cares about the life and death of the people anymore, and the large-scale flight tide has risen.
At this time, Guo Song also personally led an army of 80,000 to arrive in Xiangzhou, and a few days earlier, his vanguard, Zhang Yun, had led 3,000 scouts to sweep through Zhu Jun's army hidden in Xiangzhou and capture Xiangzhou.
On the morning of that day, Guo Song led his army to Qingzhang County in the southeast of Zhaozhou, where he established the Jin army marshal camp.
Dongzhang water flows through more than a dozen outside the county seat, and the opposite bank is Weizhou, which is about eighty miles away from Yuancheng, the capital of Wei, and the army can kill Yuancheng in one day.
Guo Song stood on the riverbank and looked at the woods and villages in the distance on the opposite bank, Liang Wu was a little uneasy and said: "Your Highness, Zhu Zhu and Li Na have taken the lead by sending troops quickly, this is not far from Yuancheng, why don't we take Yuancheng first?" ”
Guo Song smiled faintly: "Striking first doesn't mean they can have the last laugh, they occupy the land of Hebei, if I don't admit it, can they stand firm?" Let them make trouble first, and when they have made enough trouble, we will strike later. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Song pointed to the villages on the other side and asked the county magistrate of Qingzhang County: "Are there still villagers in those villages?" ”
The county commander shook his head, "Your Highness Qiqi, those villages are empty now, as early as a few days ago, after the border patrol army withdrew to Yuancheng, the border people crossed the border on a large scale, on the one hand, they feel that our side is safer, and on the other hand, it is also because our side is cheap and there are almost no taxes. ”
"How many people have crossed the border now?" Guo Song asked again.
"I don't know about other places, but there are more than 8,000 people running from the other side of the river in Qingzhang County alone."
There are more than 8,000 people in one county, and this is still a displaced person in the border area, if the people of the entire Wei State flee to the north, wouldn't it be hundreds of thousands?
Guo Song had already thought about this problem before, and he also ordered the Counsellor's Hall to actively deal with it, but this kind of rescue with a large amount of manpower and material resources will take a certain amount of time.
Guo Song turned around and asked Sima Lu Zhan, "How many tents do we have in Zhaozhou and Jizhou?" ”
Lu Zhan took out a booklet and looked at it, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, there are 6,000 inventory tents in Zhaozhou, 11,000 in Jizhou, and about 20,000 in Youzhou. ”
Guo Song nodded, and said to Liang Wu: "Immediately set up two refugee camps in Qingzhang County, Zhaozhou and Qinghe County, Beizhou, no need to fence, the big tent in Qinghe County and other tents in Youzhou, and the tents in other places are set up in Qingzhang County." ”
"Obey the order!"
Liang Wu thought for a while and said: "Now that the north is frozen and ships cannot sail, it is recommended to use sleds to transport them on the river, which is actually a little faster than ships." ”
This plan is good, Guo Song nodded and said, "It can be executed!" ”
He said to Lu Zhan again: "You assist General Liang to build the big camp first, and a large number of officials from Chang'an and Taiyuan will come to take over the management of the specific refugee camp." ”
Liang Wu had participated in the establishment of many refugee camps in Hexi and had rich experience, so he handed it over to Liang Wu to operate, and Guo Song was not worried.
At this time, a soldier reported: "Your Highness, General Zhang, the commander of the scouts, is here!" ”
Guo Song had already ordered the general Zhang Tuo to lead 10,000 troops into Xiangzhou and exchange Zhang Yun's scout army back, but he didn't expect Zhang Yun to come back so quickly.
Guo Song said happily: "Quickly order him to come to see me!" ”
After a while, Zhang Yun rode forward and hugged his fists and said: "See Your Highness!" ”
Guo Song smiled slightly: "You have worked hard to capture Xiangzhou this time, I read your report, it was indeed unexpected, there were two Li Bao, fortunately you found it in time, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses if we miscalculated." ”
Zhang Yun did miscalculate, he began to think that it was a rabble of bandits and bandits, so he didn't take it to heart, and prepared to split the scout army to occupy the counties of Xiangzhou.
But he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be an elite army, and thanks to Zhou Fei's accurate judgment, he was able to save the valuable scout army from heavy losses.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the first credit this time should be given to General Zhou, thanks to his accurate judgment, there was no mistake in sending troops to his humble position."
Guo Song nodded, "I will reward and punish clearly, now I urgently need to understand the situation in the states of Wei, you decompose and send the scout army down, and set off as soon as possible!" ”
"Obey the order!"
An hour later, the three thousand scouts were divided into thirty scout teams and sent to various states of Wei to investigate the situation, and Zhang Yun and Zhou Fei also led a scout team south.
As soon as Guo Song returned to the camp tent, a personal soldier came to report, "Your Highness, there is a scribe from outside the camp, named Wang Yu, who has come to see His Highness!" ”
