Chapter 0336: Retreat to Hezhou

The so-called Hanzhong region, in fact, refers to the Tang Dynasty Shannan West Road, the Liang Dynasty actually controlled more than half, Shu Han controlled the southwest corner, now Shu Han Emperor Liu Xun retreated to Hezhou, in addition to the Yuzhou area is gathering troops, Liu Xun intends to fight back.

In fact, Liu Xun never intended to swallow the Liang Dynasty with 200,000 troops, he knew that although the Liang Dynasty was poor, it had a deep military background and would never finish its work in one battle.

Although Liu Xun was defeated in Chenggu, resulting in the failure of the entire battle, it did not mean that he lost all the initiative, and he still did not know that Lin Chongyang was about to collapse on the day of Shu Han's withdrawal.

His irascible personality is enough to hate himself to death.

Why did Liu Xun have to take the imperial expedition in person, and also bring Prime Minister Bai Chongguang, because he was already suspicious of Bai Chongguang, this prime minister's power was too great, and it was inevitable that he would be opposed, he wanted to consolidate his position as emperor again through this war, and at the same time use Bai Chongguang's military talent, kill him when necessary.

For Bai Chongguang, he gave up Liangzhou and broke into Chenggu to defend, he had two purposes: if he held it, Guan Xiong could eat Lin Chongyang and add a heavy weight to the battle of Hanzhong; If he loses, he will run by himself and leave Emperor Liu Xun in the city, and he has already arranged a killer at the West Gate, waiting for the opportunity to move, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhikui to climb over the cliff, avoid all sight, attack the West Gate at night, and destroy Bai Chongguang's plan.

This battle of Chenggu destroyed the "good deeds" of the emperor and the prime minister at the same time, but there was no one who knew about it. Because he who knows one does not know the other. As Zhang Zhikui, I don't even know one of them. It's not that Zhang Zhikui is stupid, but who would have thought that the emperor and the prime minister, who fought side by side, would have a murderous heart. Looking at the intimate appearance of "holding each other" when they ran away together, they were like uncles and nephews with deep feelings. Of course, there is really some kinship between them, Bai Chongguang is Liu Xun's uncle, but unfortunately, under a political marriage, feelings are the most unreliable.

"Why did you transfer 80,000?" When Liu Xun saw the roster handed over by his subordinates, he was so angry that he slammed the roster and stood up angrily: "Arrest and cut down the recruit governor Hu Guanghua for me!" ”

Bai Chongguang glanced at the emperor, the newly appointed governor of the new army, Hu Guanghua, was single-handedly pulled up by Bai Chongguang, the emperor is going to use the unfavorable conscription to get rid of the prime minister, Bai Chongguang paused slightly, avoiding its edge, and then said: "Bashu was only a state in the Han Dynasty, and 80,000 troops were recruited in such a short period of time, which has already shown that the country of my Shu Han Dynasty is prosperous, Hu Guanghua's conscription is unfavorable, annoying His Majesty the Emperor, it should be killed, but now is the critical juncture of the war, killing important ministers is unlucky, for the sake of Hu Guanghua's first mistake, Give him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins. ”

Guan Xiong sat beside him sullenly, silent. This withdrawal was definitely not his intention, it was just to see the emperor and the prime minister running back in embarrassment, and angrily demanding that he withdraw his troops, he was willing to withdraw his troops for hundreds of miles and return to Hezhou. The handsome man is unwilling, depressed, and doesn't like to talk. He didn't bother to care about the open and secret struggle between the emperor and the prime minister.

Guan Xiongxin said: You two can fight as much as you like, if you fight for your head and blood, I will disarm and return to the field, and hand over this mess to you. With such an emperor and prime minister, the Shu Han Kingdom will not last long, and I can hit a few nails with iron alone.

In this Hanzhong War, there were only seven of Guan Xiong's thirteen Taibao left, all of whom were his treasures, and Guan Xiong had already begun to have the intention of retreating at this time.

The handsome Guan Xiong was not a close faction in the first place, and there was a certain gap between him and the emperor and Bai Chongguang, and they could not fully trust each other.

Before he had been stationed in Hezhou, and the Liang Dynasty Hanzhong general Lin Chongyang confronted for more than ten years, except for the first Hanzhong War, there were not too many conflicts between them, looking at each other from afar all day long, and even had a strange illusion of sympathy, when besieging Dingjun Mountain, he even thought about how to treat him if he captured Lin Chongyang, of course, he would not tie him up and put him in a prisoner car, a character like him, even if he was defeated, should let him maintain the style that a general should have.

——

"Shall we bring the soldiers to Guozhou or continue to wait at Dingjun Mountain?" Lin Chongyang asked Zhang Zhikui.

In the second war of Shu Han, Zhang Zhikui, the second deputy marshal of the Liang Dynasty, sat on the general's chair, thought for a while, and said: "I think the marshal Zhang Yunlong is about to arrive, let's wait for him." In addition, I heard that the Southern Jin Dynasty increased its troops in Jingzhou, and it was about to move, and the imperial court may change the strategy of this crusade against Shu Han. Until the new strategy is in place, we would do well to stand still. ”

"Well, everything is arranged by Vice Marshal Zhang."

"Alas, why did the general say this, it really hurt Zhang."

When it comes to identity and qualifications, Lin Chongyang and Zhang Zhikui are on par, but the problem is that now Lin Chongyang's backer is still strong, but Zhang Zhikui's backer has changed from the Meng family to the queen mother. It stands to reason that the backer should be harder, but the problem is that the current Zhang Zhikui can be ranked in the second echelon at best in the eyes of the queen of heaven, compared with Min Yue, Cao Sheng and other relatives, there is still such a layer behind.

Although Min Yue of Dazhuguo has been sick for half a year, the queen mother will not let him go easily, but whenever she faces major decisions, she will invite Dazhuguo out to restrain the old and immortal Tang Zhen.

This old thing, his health has been bad since he had a stroke, and he is light and heavy, but he just doesn't die, which makes Empress Dowager Cao anxious.

Since Tang Su, the general of Longyou, entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cao finally figured out this person's heart, I didn't expect the old Tang family to come out of such a strange character, Tang Su belongs to the kind of "good person" who has the feelings of a great country, from the bottom up, he and the emperor Zhao Ce are all the way, and these two soon became friends.

This can make the Empress Dowager Cao feel a headache, if the Tang family and the emperor are in the same breath, then it will pose a great threat to the Empress Dowager Cao's power. The 200,000 troops of the Tang family, I don't know when there will be a "Qing Jun side", and when the time comes, I will cooperate with Emperor Zhao Celi and catch her off guard.

In order to prevent this from happening, Empress Dowager Cao must do two things, first, the troops close to the emperor must not appear near Luoyang, and second, strengthen the defense of Luoyang Baguan and Tongguan, so that the Shence army has no way to enter Beijing.

This time, let Zhang Yunlong lead the troops to the battle, and let Tang Yuan be the vanguard, Empress Dowager Cao was very satisfied, she couldn't wait to hear the battle report from the front, saying that Zhang Yunlong and Tang Yuan were both killed in battle, then her Empress Dowager Cao's heart completely fell into her stomach.
