Chapter 670: Want to Make Peace?
"Whitewater?"
The generals exclaimed.
But Wei Qing didn't say anything, but immediately ordered the army to pack up, and left in the rain while Jinguancheng had not yet noticed, leaving the camp in place as a cover.
And in Baishui Pass, the step hall held Ji Changrun's order, but he was hesitant, as Wei Qing expected, Ji Changrun was indeed frightened because of Wu Kui's death, and even Wu Zheng's 30,000 army could not make Ji Changrun feel safe.
So Ji Changrun thought of the foot hall far away in Baishui Pass, and there were still 20,000 elite soldiers guarding Baishui Pass, and these soldiers and horses added up to 50,000 troops, maybe this would make Ji Changrun feel safer.
However, there are only 20,000 horses in Guanzhong, do you want to lose Baishui Pass?
Let the Han army drive straight in?
It's a lot of tricks!
At the beginning, I didn't expect Wei Qing to dare to be so bold, and he only led five thousand cavalry to dare to penetrate the Jingbo trail with dozens of Dafan tribes, and it really succeeded, and now Wei Qing's soldiers are under the city, even if he doesn't attack the city, as long as he Wei Qing is under Jinguan City, it is also a big crime for the step hall.
Therefore, the step hall must make up for the crimes it committed, so knowing that returning to the division is a stupid move, the step hall must also lead the army back to Jinguan City.
However, Baishui Pass can not be lost, so the foot hall left 10,000 soldiers and horses led by the deputy general, although the Han army outside the city is extraordinary, but if you want to conquer Baishui Pass, you don't even think about it, 10,000 people can completely drag the Han army for a year and a half.
The infantry hall also specially instructed the lieutenant general not to go out of the customs to meet the enemy.
As long as they do not go out of the customs, the Han army will never be able to enter the country. The Walk Hall is very sure of this.
......
The Han army and the Yizhou army in Yizhou are in full swing, and Lingzhou is the same, Lu Congshou led 60,000 horses all the way, indeed as Guo Jia expected, Lu Congshou wanted to seize Guan Yu's rear army before the support of the governor's mansion arrived, and took Pule County, but was attacked by Zhang Liao and the light cavalry on the way, and there were some losses.
Lu Congshou was furious and sent his generals to pursue, but he was beheaded by Zhang Liao.
Subsequently, Zhang Liao harassed again and again, which greatly reduced the morale of Lu Congshou's army, and also made the somewhat impatient Lu Congshou have to fight steadily, so that Zhang Liao had no opportunity to take advantage of.
In desperation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to lead the army back to Pule City, set up a camp on the edge of Pule City, and Pule thought it was a horn, preparing to resist Lu Congshou's attack.
It will take at least half a month before the reinforcements from the Houjun Governor's Mansion.
In other words, Pule City had to hold out in front of Lu Congshou's army of 60,000 for half a month.
......
The four thousand elite cavalry led by Wei Qing are now shrinking into a small mountain pass, Yizhou is mountainous, and Ji Changrun's level of governance is average, and he is greedy for pleasure, so in addition to the vicinity of Jinguan City, there are quite bandits in other places, and the family is also building a fort for himself.
And the small mountain col where Wei Qing is now is a cottage where there are only 100 or 10 mountain bandits.
However, to the frustration of the generals, the mountain bandits were poor and ding-sounding, and there was not much food at all, and the four thousand elite horsemen ate and chewed their horses day by day, and the grain and grass plundered from Dafan were already insufficient.
Now the soldiers and horses are all hidden in the small mountain pass, but Wei Qing has few words, the generals don't know what Wei Qing is doing at all, if it weren't for Wei Qing's deep prestige established in this short time, I'm afraid some people would have questioned it.
On this day, Wei Qing took the generals to a high mountain to observe the terrain, Luo Cheng was more impatient, and finally couldn't bear it, and asked cautiously: "Dashuai, we have been in this small mountain col for nearly half a month, and the food is already insufficient, and even the horses have lost weight... Even if the reinforcements led by Baishui Pass were ambushed, the Malay report could be found that the 10,000 troops led by the foot hall had already passed here. ”
"Huh."
Wei Qing listened, but he was happy, "It is precisely because they want to go over that we can open the gate of Baishui Pass!" ”
Immediately, his expression was solemn, and the surrounding generals quickly straightened their waists and listened to the military order, "Put on the armor of the previous Quyu Pass defenders, let's pretend to be the Yizhou Army and deceive Baishui Pass." ”
"Yes!"
...
"What! You say that the 4,000 Han troops are missing? ”
The hall grabbed the herald by the collar and shouted.
"It's... Yes, General! ”
The herald looked at the vicious hall, and his calves were a little pouting in fright, and he stammered when he spoke.
"Do you know where these four thousand have gone? Is it going back the way you came, or is it somewhere else? ”
"It was raining so hard that I couldn't see the shadow of the enemy at all, that's all..."
"I don't know where they went, do I?"
The infantry hall was already a little angry, and pushed the commander away.
"General, what's wrong?"
An adjutant general hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Nothing is over!"
Bu Hall muttered, his eyes revealing a hint of depression.
Quyu Pass is now occupied by the Han army, and Wei Qing may retreat to Quyu Pass, but what the Bu Hall knows and sees, Wei Qing, who can directly lead 5,000 cavalry to Jinguan City, is probably not a person who follows the rules, so Wei Qing's goal is only one--
It was the Baishui Pass that blocked the 40,000 Han troops.
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw to Baishui Pass! ”
The step hall yelled.
...
The step hall that returned to Baishui Pass in a hurry because he was too impatient was attacked by Wei Qing, who had already occupied Baishui Pass, on the way, and the step hall died in the chaos.
The death of the step hall means that Baishui Pass has completely failed, and the Han army has successfully occupied Quyu Pass, which means that the Han army has successfully surrounded Jinguan City, for Ji Changrun, the lord of Yizhou, Yizhou has reached a critical moment.
Survival is only a thought.
And at this moment, in Jinguan City, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the hall, and the sound of quarrels has lasted for three days, but Ji Changrun, who was frightened, did not have the slightest ability to make decisions, but just wandered left and right in various decisions.
"Father, you can't hesitate any longer, please send your sons to fight, you will definitely be able to repel the Han army and recapture Baishui Pass and Quyu Pass!"
Ji Changrun's eldest son, Ji Fengshu, once again gave up his proposal.
And Ji Changrun was lying on his side on the dragon chair, his forehead covered with a towel soaked in water to cool down, looking dizzy.
Hearing the eldest son's proposal, Ji Changrun closed his eyes and didn't answer, obviously Ji Changrun still hadn't made a decision for so long.
"You say, can you negotiate peace with the Han army?"
Ji Changrun said suddenly.
The ministers were stunned for a moment, only Yu Wenhua in the queue of hundreds of officials and the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned.
"No way!"
"Your Majesty, never!"
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
For a time, the main battle faction was all out to oppose it, and the peace faction was only a few people, and most of them were figures who could not be put on the stage, so they could only tremble under the suppression of the main battle faction.
The centrists were silent and indifferent.
Wu Zheng, who has been silent recently, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, if you negotiate peace, won't it make the world laugh at me and have no one in the Great Zhou?" And our army has lost countless soldiers, if peace is negotiated, can the soldiers be willing? Please think twice about your majesty! ”
Although Wang Mi and Wu Zheng do not deal with each other, at this moment of crisis and survival, the concept of the overall situation is still there, but it is to persuade Ji Changrun from another angle.
"Your Majesty, even if you want to negotiate peace, you have to win two battles, and you have to make the Han army suffer some hardships, only in this way can there be hope for peace, otherwise the Han army is now like a bamboo, how can it negotiate peace with us?"
Ji Changrun pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "But it's like the prime minister's words." ”
Finally, under the persuasion of the ministers, Ji Changrun made up his mind and ordered: "Then General Wu Zheng will be the main general, and Wu'er Fengshu will be the deputy general, leading 50,000 troops to recapture Baishui Pass." ”
"Also, Yuwen Aiqing, your three sons are all martial, and they all have the position of deputy general!"
Yu culture and listed said yes.
In addition to nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Jinguancheng, 30,000 of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Wu Zheng were brought by him, and 20,000 were county soldiers from various counties in Jinguancheng and strong clan soldiers, almost trying their best.
