Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Fierce Will Be Difficult
It was Ge Shuhan's henchman Yang Jinghui who spoke.
Yang Jinghui said this sentence to Ge Shuhan's heart.
On the march, intelligence comes first.
In the chapter of "The Art of War", the role of intelligence is particularly emphasized, and intelligence is even divided into several levels: the cause, the inside, the anti-center, the death, and the life.
Ge Shuhan is good at military strategy, and he understands the importance of intelligence.
When he arrived in Jingxiang, he had already arranged for his henchmen to scout for information.
Ge Shuhan is the richest, and all of his scouts have a fee to buy intelligence, and he can be said to know the situation of An Lushan well.
Originally, Ge Shuhan participated in the encirclement and suppression of An Lushan according to Pei Min's original plan.
But Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi performed too well.
The former had less than 10,000 troops in his hands, but he was able to defeat the strong attack of An Lushan's 130,000 army, which made the thieves sink into the sand.
The latter fought even more beautifully in Lu's battle: Li Guangbi directly overthrew the people of the three armies with the strength of one army, and fought An Lushan with his head and rats, and more than half of the 100,000 troops suffered casualties, becoming a lost dog.
In the face of the performance of these two, Ge Shuhan also felt the pressure, and at the same time was not willing to be left behind.
As an old-timer, how can he let Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi, the younger generations, compare with the past?
It happened that An Lushan gave up retreating to Chang'an to join Shi Siming, and retreated from his direction to break through.
Ge Shuhan moved to break and capture An Lushan and swallow this last fat meat alone.
It's just that Ge Shuhan currently only has 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is still a certain gap between him and An Lushan.
Now An Lushan is bent on breaking through and escaping, intending to withdraw to the Northland, and will not confront it head-on.
Ge Shuhan did not think that he would be inferior to Li Guangbi, and he also had the confidence to defeat the strong with the weak with the soldiers and horses in his hands. It's just that if you want to completely annihilate the enemy army, it's not easy to capture An Lushan alive.
Ge Shuhan sent troops to attack and harass, delaying the speed of An Lushan's march, just waiting for his own reinforcements.
After pondering for a moment, Ge Shuhan said, "When will the Zhang Soldier and Horse Envoy arrive?" ”
Yang Jinghui replied: "We have already sent a boat to pick it up, about two days later." ”
Ge Shuhan was talking about the army commander under his command, Zhang Shouyu, the soldier and horse envoy.
Ge Shuhan said: "Tell him to take a boat to Xiangcheng, and north of Xiangcheng is Yingqiao." After letting them cross the Ying Bridge, they directly demolished the Ying Bridge. Now that the water is turbulent, and without Yingqiao, Li Guangbi and they have to make a few more detours to cross Yingshui. At that time, the daylilies were all cold......"
Yang Jinghui's face changed slightly, and he said with a little horror: "This is not good, where is the king of Wuwei County?" ”
Ge Shuhan's body trembled slightly, but thinking that Pei Min was far away in Shuofang, he was a little bolder, and said: "No matter what you do, we came from Sichuan and Shu thousands of miles to this Central Plains, we are here to eat meat, not to drink soup and eat slag, let alone to serve Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi as foils." Pei Shuai, blame it, my brother Shuhan bears it alone! Whoever grabs this credit from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will turn his face with whomever he wants. ”
Yingshui!
Yingqiao!
Zhang Shouyu was directing the troops to cross the river.
He has 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but Yingqiao can only accommodate ten people to cross together, which will take a long time with the weight of grain and grass.
However, Zhang Shouyu had already understood the general situation, and knew that Ge Shuhan was in urgent need of their 15,000 soldiers and horses here, so he did not dare to delay at all, and personally commanded and arranged for the soldiers to cross the river.
When most of the soldiers had passed, Zhang Shouyu had already begun to arrange for the soldiers to plan to demolish the Ying Bridge.
Suddenly, the west was dusty, and there was a scene of soldiers and horses attacking.
In the early years of Jiannanbing, Xian Yu Zhongtong was defeated, and it happened to be unbreakable.
The brand-new Jiannan Army is a soldier and horse recruited by Ge Shuhan over the years and trained by himself, and the combat effectiveness is very impressive, and the combat awareness of each soldier is also extremely keen.
In this case, without panic, the soldiers crossing the bridge vacated the space for the soldiers on the bridge to have a seat to cross the bridge. The soldiers, who had not yet crossed the bridge, were ready for battle......
Zhang Shouyu also sent scouts to investigate the situation as soon as possible.
After a while, the scout arrived with a man.
The scout said in a loud voice from afar: "Soldiers and horses, the person who came is General Lifei Yuanli, the deputy general under General Li Guangbi." ”
Zhang Shouyu's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Li Guangbi to come so quickly, after a little thought, he had an idea, and stepped forward to greet him in person.
Zhang Shouyu's attitude is polite, and in the same camp, Li Fei Yuanli also seems polite.
Zhang Shouyu said: "General Yuanli, our military has just crossed the river, and we have to wait for a while, so why don't the generals go around left and right to see if there are any bridges to cross?" ”
Lifei Yuanli glanced at the soldiers on the west bank of Yingshui, and said with a smile: "My general has understood in advance, there were originally three bridges near here, but before General Zhang Xun turned to the Central Plains, in order to block the enemy, two were demolished, and this one Yingqiao remained." First come, first come, first come, the general crosses first. Our army will pass over later, and there is no hurry for this time. ”
Zhang Shouyu didn't say anything, so he went back to Yingqiao.
With an idea, he asked the soldiers who had already crossed the bridge to go to Geshuhan first.
The rest of the soldiers who had not crossed the river crossed the river slowly......
Li Fei Yuanli waited a little impatiently and urged a few times.
But where will Zhang Shouyu listen, while dealing with it, he is even slower.
Li Fei Yuanli waited for two hours, until Li Guangbi's follow-up soldiers and horses arrived.
Li Guangbi was shocked to wonder why Li Fei Yuanli was still in Linying, and when he knew the situation in detail, there was a wave of doubt in his eyes, and then he let anger replace him.
Xin Jinggao was the most humane and said: "General, I'm afraid that the envoy of Geshu Jiedu doesn't want us to rob him of his credit." ”
Li Fei Yuanli had been waiting for a long time, holding back his anger, and with Xin Jinggao's reminder, he immediately shouted: "This is too bullying!" Why is his brother Shuhan? ”
Li Guangbi pursed his mouth, his hands were clenched tightly, and he said after a while: "Let's wait, no matter how slow it is, there will be a time to pass, and it won't be delayed for long." ”
The words came from between his teeth.
Although he chose to compromise, his tone was also full of dissatisfaction with Ge Shuhan.
Isn't it just an old general who is a few years older, what's the big deal.
After waiting for another half an hour, I saw that the Jiannan army was about to cross the bridge.
Suddenly, their baggage overturned inexplicably, and more than a dozen baggage trucks broke down together and blocked the Ying Bridge.
Li Guangbi sent Xin Jinggao to find out the situation.
Xin Jinggao came back helplessly and said, "They said that when they repaired the baggage truck, they would cross the bridge immediately." ”
"How can it be!"
Hearing this, Li Guangbi exploded when he boarded, and shouted angrily: "Brother Shu, the old thief, deceived me too much! He shouted with red eyes, "Yuanli, you immediately take your soldiers to the bridge." Throw all the baggage into the river, and whoever dares to stop it will take it directly. If they go to the knife first, you're welcome. ”
Xin Jinggao exclaimed: "General Li ......"
Li Guangbi rushed up angrily and shouted: "The thief's current situation was bought by Lao Tzu with his life, and at this point, Lao Tzu doesn't mind sharing the credit of the thief." But he wants to swallow it alone, because he thinks my Li Guangbi's knife is not sharp enough? ”
Xin Jinggao knew that Li Guangbi was unruly, and he was not afraid of heaven and earth, so he only obeyed Pei Min and persuaded bitterly: "General, can you think about the consequences, if you attack your own people, how will Pei Shuai explain it?" ”
As soon as he heard "Pei Shuai", Li Guangbi calmed down half, but remembering that Pei Min was far away in Shuofang, he said: "Don't use Pei Shuai to press me, isn't he here." Now it's Ge Shuhan who is bullying me, not me Li Guangbi making trouble unreasonably. The old thing has no ability to do it himself, but he came to rob me of the credit. I can't bear this breath. ”
