Chapter 716: Winter Hunting Advances
Luoguan, 60,000 troops have been assembled, the army is spread out on the field in front of Luoguan, under the moonlight, the armor flashes with cold light, 50,000 cavalry leap to try, murderous.
This attack on Guanzhong is very important, Guo Song is still personally commanding the troops, Guo Song is wearing fine scale armor, wearing a golden crown, he waved his sword and ordered: "Go!" ”
60,000 cavalry along the official road to the south, from Luoguan south is first Fangzhou, Fangzhou did not have a soldier, the state and county officials have also surrendered to the Jin Palace, Luoshui from Fangzhou diagonally through, here the terrain is flat, along the banks of Luoshui is a wide official road, there is no danger to stop the army from going south.
60,000 troops marched quickly on the pass, before dawn, the army entered Tongzhou, entering Tongzhou means entering Guanzhong, but there are at least three days from Tongzhou to Chang'an, the Jin army immediately divided into two roads, one route Guo Song led 50,000 troops directly to Chang'an, the other route Li Bing led 10,000 cavalry, turned to the east, and killed Pujin Pass and Tongguan.
Although Pujin Pass and Tongguan Pass are key passes in the east of the Guandong, but their current role has been in name only, Pujin Pass is to defend Hedong, but its back is exposed to the enemy troops coming down from Tongzhou, Tongguan is the same, it can defend the front, but it can't guard the rear.
Zhu Zhu knew very well that the defense of Pujin Pass and Tongguan was meaningless, it was originally a heavy defense, and now the army retreated south to Shangzhou, and only 3,000 people were left to guard the two passes.
From Tongzhou Road to Pujin Pass is very close, the cavalry can be killed in only half a day, at noon, a thousand soldiers in Pujin Pass are gathering together to eat, suddenly feel the ground shake slightly, the soldiers are stunned to stand up, look at each other, dazed and at a loss, at this time, there are soldiers in the city shouted: "The cavalry is coming!" ”
The soldiers suddenly rushed to the camp outside the city like a nest, and the main general of the defenders was called Sun Li, a lieutenant general, and he shouted loudly: "Don't camp tents, retreat south!" ”
Pujin Pass is a pass city, occupies a very small area, there is a city gate in the east and west, the east city gate leads to the east of the river, the west city gate leads to Guanzhong, the pass in the east is very dangerous, an iron chain bridge connects both sides of the Yellow River, Pujin Pass is in the high place, for the east side of the river, Pujin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for Guanzhong is a very ordinary pass, there is no danger at all.
The soldiers rushed to the barracks because their personal belongings were in the barracks, and each soldier had a locked box, which was their money savings, and it was impossible for them to give up their belongings and evacuate.
Seeing that the soldiers did not listen to orders, and the enemy army had already killed two miles away and was about to be killed, Sun Li was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Let's go!" ”
He took more than 100 soldiers to abandon Pujin Pass and quickly evacuated in the direction of Tongguan.
The soldiers got their belongings and ran out of the barracks, there was no way out, 10,000 cavalry surrounded the barracks, the cavalry raised their crossbows and aimed at the barracks, Li Bing shouted: "Surrender quickly, but Rao Er will die!" ”
In a moment, a group of soldiers came out of the barracks with their hands raised, they all took off their armor and wore only cloth clothes, and under the orders of the cavalry, the surrendering soldiers knelt in the open space, holding the back of their heads with their hands.
Someone reported to Li Bing, these soldiers are all locals in the same state, they did not evacuate because they wanted to come back to get their money, and then they wanted to flee home directly, and they didn't want to sell their lives anymore.
Li Bing nodded and ordered: "These soldiers can be released and return to their hometowns, and the belongings they can take away are limited to ten yuan of money, and all of them above ten yuan will be confiscated!" ”
Li Bing's heart is like a mirror, many soldiers extort caravans in Pujin Pass, and have accumulated a lot of money, and the normal military income can be taken away, but how can the ill-gotten gains of extortion be taken away.
He left 2,000 soldiers to deal with the aftermath, while Li Bing led 8,000 cavalry to continue to gallop towards Tongguan.
...........
In Chang'an City, in the afternoon, Song Tian, the head of the Jin Wei Mansion in Chang'an, hurriedly found Zhang Yun, who was patrolling in the Daozheng Fang.
Daozheng Square is adjacent to Chunmingmen Street in the north and the city wall in the east, Zhang Yun is very experienced, they can climb the city wall from the fang, he has found a few big trees close to the city wall, you can easily climb the city wall from the big tree, and then seize the Chunming Gate.
At present, 1,500 scout soldiers have entered Chang'an one after another, and a large number of armor and weapons have been smuggled in by using the Qujiang waterway, and in fact a powerful force has been formed to seize Chang'an City.
Just wait for winter to come and launch a winter hunting operation, in fact, the winter hunting operation refers to the action against the enemy's main general Zhu Jinqing, Zhu Jinqing loves hunting, and will take his men to hunt in the Wuting River area after the first snow in winter.
Guo Song decided to take advantage of Zhu Jinqing's hobby, ordered the Jin army scouts to arrest him, and then coerced Zhu Jinqing to transfer the army out of Chang'an, and Zhang Yun led the scouts to take the opportunity to control Chang'an, so that the damage to Chang'an would be minimized.
"Inspector Zhang!"
Song Tian finally saw Zhang Yun and his subordinates in tax uniforms, and waved his hand and shouted,
Zhang Yun also saw Song Tian, and when he saw him coming in a hurry, he estimated that there was something urgent, so he grabbed the reins.
"Brother Song is in a hurry?" Zhang Yun asked with a smile.
"I just got the news that the big proprietor has arrived in Guanzhong."
Zhang Yun was shocked, the big proprietor was His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he actually came to Guanzhong, wouldn't the situation have changed.
"Where is he now?" Zhang Yun asked anxiously.
Song Tian saw that there were many pedestrians around, so he said, "Let's go to the inn and talk about it." ”
Zhang Yun looked at both sides, then nodded, "Go to the inn!" ”
The Gaosheng Inn was not far from the gate of Daozheng Fang, and after a while, they came to the inn, and the two sat down in a quiet room, and Song Tian handed the received pigeon letter to Zhang Yun, "General Zhang, take a look at this!" ”
Zhang Yun took the pigeon letter and read it, this pigeon letter was sent in Fangzhou, that is to say, not long after the pigeon letter was issued, His Royal Highness the King of Jin personally led the army into Tongzhou, that is, it was sent this morning, and the army could arrive in Chang'an City at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Zhang Yun has a backup winter hunting plan, and this plan is what Zhu Jinqing will do if he doesn't go out hunting this winter?
Zhang Yun figured out the enemy's garrison this month, and he had a bold plan, the enemy's 30,000 troops were stationed in the West Inner Garden, and the West Inner Garden was actually outside the palace, once the Xuanwu Gate of the Taiji Palace and the Danfeng Gate of the Daming Palace were blocked, the 30,000 troops could not enter Chang'an City, and could only go around the city to find other city gates.
Of course, his 1,500 men could not hold the entire Chang'an City, but they could defend the various gates separately and hold them for a few hours before the enemy army built a siege ladder, which would buy time for the arrival of the main force.
But there is a big loophole in this, once Zhu Jinqing knows that the Jin army has entered the pass, he will definitely deploy 30,000 troops in the city, and will not return to the West Inner Garden, even if he should take a city gate inside and outside, large-scale street battles are inevitable, which will ruin Chang'an.
Of course, Zhang Yun understood that the purpose of King Jin sending himself to Chang'an was to keep Chang'an by himself, which was also the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Jin personally commanded the army to take Chang'an, but now, how to solve this loophole?
Zhang Yun was so anxious that he walked around the room, and Song Tian asked, "What can I do for the general?" ”
At this time, Zhang Yun's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked: "What channel can Zhu Jinqing know through which the Jin army has entered the Guanzhong?" ”
Song Tian thought for a while and said: "Generally, there are two channels, one is the eagle letter, and the second is the fast horse message. ”
Zhang Yun became nervous in his heart, and asked again: "There is only an eagle letter, no pigeon letter?" ”
Song Tian shook his head, "Zhu Jinqing likes eagles and never uses pigeon letters. ”
Zhang Yun's heart moved, if it is to use the eagle letter, then it must be used the eagle tower, Chang'an's official eagle tower is in Xingqing Palace, if he controls this eagle tower, it will block a channel for Zhu Jinqing to get information.
Song Tian understood the worry in Zhang's heart, so he smiled and said: "Chang'an's Eagle Letter is in contact with Luoyang, Tongguan, Wuguan, and Dasanguan, and can know that we are in the Guanzhong, and only Tongguan is possible, I think the lord will definitely take Tongguan as soon as possible, and the intelligence source of Yingxin will be blocked, the key is to report the news quickly, which is possible." ”
Zhang Yun shook his head, "We can't be careless, we must control the Eagle Tower." ”
Song Tian thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's do it!" We split up, and I was in charge of controlling the Tower. ”
"Do you have a solution?" Zhang Yun asked.
Song Tian nodded, "I can buy the head of Xingqing Palace, and place one of my subordinate eagle slaves on the eagle tower, and he will be responsible for receiving the letter, and then General Zhang will be responsible for ambushing the messengers, as long as you guard the official road from the east, it will be no problem." ”
Zhang Yun was overjoyed, "Then let's act now!" ”
