Chapter Thirty-Eight: To Each His Own Mind
Liu Congxi has obviously been persuaded by Zhan Tai Jingming and others, standing still, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, making plans, and his attitude is very resolute, Li Xun's persuasion is ineffective, and Huang Xun then persuaded repeatedly, and the two finally quarreled and broke up.
Looking at Huang Xun's figure of looking up to the sky and sighing, Li Xun also felt a deep helplessness, the emperor needs a general to lead the army to fight, and at the same time he does not trust the leading general, and sends the eunuch to supervise and defend the army as a supervisor, and he is constrained everywhere.
Liu Congxi didn't take out the tiger talisman, Huang Zhi couldn't mobilize the army, so he could only sigh and wait for the opportunity to lose, although the five thousand elite cavalry he brought from Jingping Pass didn't need any bullshit tiger talismans, and he could command the transfer, but doing so was obviously not in line with the rules, and the cost was too great, even if the thing was done, afterwards, I am afraid that Emperor Zhao Zhi would not spare Huang Zhi.
Chengping 5th year, August 20.
Hong and Jiang Jiedu made Zhao Baian personally lead an army of 20,000 to come to the rescue, arrived at Zhixian County, and looked at each other 20 miles away from Huang Xian's army.
Zhan Tai Jingming and others were overjoyed, and they all made remarks, demanding that they immediately join forces with Zhao Bai'an, and then fight to the death with Zheng Ze and others.
Huang Zhi smiled bitterly: "We want to fight a decisive battle, I'm afraid Zheng Ze won't give us this opportunity." ”
Despite this, but everyone was unanimous, and the supervisor Liu Congxi and Yushi Qin Anming also asked Huang Qian to immediately lead the army to join Zhao Bo'an, but there was no way, Huang Qian had to let Shan Qiu lead 5,000 troops to garrison Zhixian County, and guard against the 3,000 defenders of Yangshan Pass from behind, and then led the army to join Zhao Bai'an, with nearly 50,000 people, began to approach Zheng Ze and others, intending to fight to the death.
In the face of the approach of Huang Chen's 50,000-strong army, Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, Huang Baichuan and others joined forces, and then retreated, not fighting Huang Zhi at all.
The two sides held each other for a few days, Huang Zhen advanced, Zheng Ze and others slowly retreated, and the battlefield slowly returned to the area of Mi County.
After the more than 50,000 people of Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, and Huang Baichuan retreated to Mi County, they did not retreat, but arranged a formation to prepare for a battle.
Huang Qian has already figured it out, since time is not waiting for me, then take advantage of Yang Liecheng's lack of action, lead the army to defeat Zheng Ze and others first, and then lead the army to force Yingzhou, at that time, Yang Liecheng will never dare to make any more changes.
It's a pity that things often don't go as planned.
Just when Huang Zhen was integrating his troops and preparing to attack, there was finally extremely bad news from Hongzhou.
Taking advantage of the decisive battle between Huang and Zheng Ze, Yang Liecheng, who personally led an army of 25,000, raided Jiangzhou, and the 3,000 defenders of Jiangzhou were caught off guard, outnumbered, and defeated in a battle, and Yang Liecheng occupied the entire territory of Jiangzhou in only half a day.
Yang Liecheng led the army to advance quickly, and then besieged Liangcheng, Zhilu County, Hongzhou Prefecture, and Zhao Qiankun, the son of Zhao Bo'an, led 8,000 troops to defend the city, and sent people to spread the news to Zhao Bo'an.
At night, heavy rain falls and the temperature plummets.
The big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered together.
Zhao Bai'an walked back and forth there, his expression changing, and it was obvious that the news of the danger in Hongzhou made him feel extremely uneasy.
"Brother Huang, what do you think?"
Zhao Bo'an looked at Huang Xian and asked out loud, the two are about the same age, and their qualifications are similar, but Zhao Bai'an is the son of the first emperor, and he is the king of Hong'an County, and the envoy of Hong and Jiang Jie, and his title is much higher than that of Huang Chen.
"Brother Bai'an, look here."
Huang Xuan spread out the map and pointed to a place, which was Yingzhou.
Zhao Bai'an walked closer and glanced at the map, frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Huang, you still want to sneak attack Yingzhou?" But..."
A few days ago, after Zhao Bo'an and Huang Zhi converged, Huang Zhi told him about it, but Zhan Tai Jingming and others on the side said that it was a plan and could not be fooled, Huang Zhi thought that it would be good if he could gather a large army to directly defeat Zheng Ze and others, so he did not insist, and now Yang Liecheng has surrounded Liangcheng, Zheng Ze and others are avoiding the battle and grasping the initiative on the battlefield.
Now the best way is to choose to believe in Zheng Chun and raid Yingzhou, once Yingzhou is captured, you can rush to Hongzhou by the nearest route to the north, and to the east, you can directly enter Ezhou, besiege Wei to save Zhao, and force Yang Liecheng to retreat, there are too many benefits.
"I'm still the same sentence, I only took 5,000 soldiers and raided Yingzhou at night."
Zhan Tai Jingming immediately objected loudly: "I know that it is a plan, and I still want to go, what does the general want?" ”
Huang Qian couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and said coldly: "Zheng Chundu has already taken his children as hostages, what else is there to worry about?" ”
Zhao Feidu said at this time: "Who knows if those children are Zheng Chun's children?" If we are really fooled, won't it make people laugh when they spread it? ”
Zhao Bo'an watched everyone arguing there, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't interject, among the people present, if he said who was the most heartfelt to the court, it was Zhao Bo'an, he was poor since he was a child, he was rescued by the first emperor, raised in the palace, regarded as his own, for the sake of the Great Jin, he could be smeared with his liver and brain, and then died, if other knots heard that his territory was occupied, I am afraid that he would have already jumped straight to his feet in a hurry, and immediately led the army back to rescue, but Zhao Boan didn't care about this, what he cared about was that if this war failed, for the imperial court, It would be an extremely heavy blow.
Li Xun glanced at everyone present, and suddenly understood a little, the reason why Zhan Tai Jingming opposed Huang Zhi's sneak attack on Yingzhou was that he was afraid that something would happen to him, once he had an accident, the battlefield here would be a failure, even if they returned to Fengjing, they would be punished very severely, on the contrary, if Huang Zhen was here, even if they failed, when they arrived at Emperor Zhao Zhi, as the chief general of the three armies, Huang Zhi, no matter how big the fault was, there was also him in front, Zhan Tai Jingming They didn't have to worry too much.
Li Xun suddenly felt that Zhan Tai Jingming and the others probably didn't care about the gains and losses in Jiangnan at all, and now there were 50,000 troops, which was the same as the number of soldiers and horses of Zheng Ze and others, if they retreated to Huainan, Zheng Ze and the others might not necessarily chase after them, after all... They want Jiangnan, not to fight hard with Huang Xuan here.
"I agree with the general's strategy."
Everyone looked at Li Xun, and Zhan Tai Jingming and the others all showed disdain on their faces, and in their eyes, as if to say, when will it be your turn to speak here?
