Chapter 68: Relatives
In the mountain camp, Gao Huan frowned: "What you two said... Is that true? In that Shaanxi City, there are tens of thousands of thieves in the West? ”
The next one was kneeling with Xue Lu and the others who fled in a hurry. Lu Yongji didn't think about it, and blurted out: "My subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and there are no less than 30,000 thieves... No, there should be 40,000 people! ”
Gao Huan's brows tightened, and he turned his head to look at Xue Guyan again.
Xue Gu postponed Ai Ai and said, "Two... Thirty thousand, twenty or thirty thousand thieves, there are always some. No wonder he --- Pei Guo actually sent all the 10,000 horses under his command to the outside of the city as "ambushes", and none of them stayed in the city. Such an arrangement is incredible, how can Xue Guyan know?
Xue Guyan has always spoken concisely, and since he said this, Gao Huan and even all the generals in the field believed that the Western Army was defeated---, and although there were many dead and wounded and captured, many people and horses fled without a trace, and in a hurry, the Eastern Army could not count clearly. In this way, it is not unusual to say that there are still 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the Western Army. Or the Westerners actually sent reinforcements from Guanzhong, it is not known.
Wei Jing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff... ”
Everyone sighed, and before they knew it, their hearts dropped several times.
At this time, Hu Luguang suddenly stepped forward and arched his hand: "100,000 Western thieves have also lost to our army, and there are still tens of thousands of Western thieves entrenched in Shaancheng, so what?" King! Now that it is a big victory, when it is a blow, it will go straight to the pass, and never leave any troubles! ”
Gao Huan was depressed, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the words, and when he was about to speak, he heard Hu Lujin shout first: "Guang'er, don't talk at will!" This militaristic plan should also be taken seriously. Everything is determined by the king's word! ”
Hu Luguang was stunned, and when he saw that it was his father's training, he had to retreat aside.
Sun Teng also stepped forward and shook his head: "This battle for Heluo was originally to quell the rebellion of Beiyu. Now that the thief has retreated, he should quickly destroy Gao Shen, why do he want to be greedy and not chewy? Yuwen black thieves have always been treacherous, like to set up ambushes, our army is not easy to win, but don't because of light advance, hehe, in vain buried this victory! ”
Gao Huan was startled, and hesitated for three points in his heart.
In fact, the eastern armies from all walks of life came from thousands of miles, and there were many fierce battles in the past few days, and they were already exhausted. In addition, the weather is hot, and most of the people in the army are people from the north who cannot tolerate the heat, so they have indeed become "people's hearts".
There is the Qingqi county guard who is in the expedition and reports that he is hard, "the people are tired and unable to fight again"; I saw the general from Youyan venting bitterness, saying that "the horses are all hot, what about people?" ”
As far as Gao Huan's eyes could see, nine or eight out of ten of the troops from the expedition were complaining, apparently unwilling to march westward again. The fierce Peng Le hid in a corner, hung his head, and didn't dare to look at Gao Huan at all...
Gao Huan became more and more depressed--- this battle can be described as a best-of-three game. However, in the losing game, half of the Thai losses were Jinyang soldiers and horses, which was really not light, and even the confidant general He Lou Wulan was killed on the spot. At this time, if you want to go west, you have to rely on the county guards and governors from all walks of life. But the retreat of this cadre has been beaten into an earth-shattering sound, so what can I do?
So, Gao Huan sighed for a long time, and in his melancholy, he finally gave up the idea of going west.
He ordered Hu Lu's father and son to lead his troops to reinforce Gao Cheng, in order to pacify Gao Shen as soon as possible. The rest of the troops, including the Jinyang Army, all returned home.
This battle of Bishan was obviously a rare victory, but Gao Huan rarely rewarded him, and promoted Hu Luguang as the general of the left guard, and entered the Marquis of Julu County, and soon ordered him to move to Yedu to serve as the governor of the left wing of Gyeonggi, thinking that he was the right-hand man of the prince Gao Cheng.
The eastern army retreated, and the news reached Chang'an, and Yuwentai was ecstatic: "God will not abandon me!" Heaven will not abandon me! ”
The easterners don't know the details of the pass, how can Yuwentai not know himself? Gao Huan really made a mistake--- and this time he was defeated, and the Western Dynasty had run out of oil. But Gao Huan waved his army to the west, and the so-called Western Dynasty will be wiped out.
。。。。。。
Besides, Dugu Xin, Yang Zhong, and Helianda and a few, how dare they linger when they hear that the main force has failed miserably? He hastily picked up, abandoned the land of Jingxiang and hurriedly retreated.
Yang Zhong kept an eye on it and set up an ambush himself. Sure enough, Hou Jing's general Wang Xiangui was eager to make meritorious contributions, and hurriedly chased after him, stabbing Yang Zhong to death with a lance, and his subordinates were swept away. Hou Jing was taken aback, so he didn't dare to chase after him.
The Sixth Army was able to retreat to Shaanzhou smoothly, and Helenda returned to Luozhou.
At this time, Gao Huan was about to return to Jinyang, and Pei Guo returned the defense of Shaanzhou to Dugu Xin, and led his headquarters to cross the river north and return to the east of the town.
。。。。。。
In mid-April, Hu Luguang ascended first, and Gao Cheng broke through the tiger prison with one drum. The rebellion of Beiyu has been extinguished so far.
Gao Shen fled on a single horse, and his wife Li and his sons were all held by Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng tried his best to punish the sons of Gao Shen, and under coercion, he finally had to take the Li family as a concubine, and he was overjoyed.
Gao Shen fled to Chang'an and was named Situ, but because of the death of his wife, he cried day and night, and soon died of depression and illness.
These are all afterwords, not pressed.
。。。。。。
In the battles of Bishan and Xiaoqu, there were three major battles in succession within two days, and the Western Army was defeated first and then won, and then it was defeated again, and it was directly lost.
and the sergeants who were captured and beheaded and who fled, eighty thousand; More than 400 people were killed, wounded, and captured. Yuwentai has been in business for many years, and the Sixth Army, which was built with great difficulty, was completely lost.
Brother Daoli, Hou Mo Chen Chong was seriously injured, and Wang Xiong died in battle. Hundreds of nobles were killed or wounded, and more than a dozen kings were captured and surrendered to the enemy.
The land of Kansai is full of relatives.
。。。。。。
In Chang'an City, Yuwentai wrote a book to beg for self-depreciation. The emperor did not allow the Yuan Bao Torch, but issued an edict to reprimand Li Hu and Zhao Gui for "ineffective fighting", and each was demoted.
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Chang'an City is already full of sorrow, and I don't want another great tragedy to happen soon, so it's not sad.
It turned out that after Gao Huan returned to Jinyang, he dreamed of He Batsheng chasing and killing with a lance at night, and he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed. When he woke up, Gao Huan was angry and hateful, and just remembered that He Batsheng's two sons were captured by Xin Su at the beginning, and then sent them to himself, and at this time the Orthodox Church was imprisoned in Yecheng.
At that moment, Gao Huan was angry and sent an envoy to Yecheng, so that Gao Cheng would make a move, hang He Basheng's two sons on the spot, and send their heads to Chang'an.
When He Batsheng saw the head of his second son, he vomited blood on the spot and fainted on the ground. After waking up, he didn't eat water and rice for three days and three nights, and finally he was so distressed that he vomited blood and died violently at night.
Whether it is Yuwentai, Pei Guo, or Li Hu, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, Yang Zhong and other old brothers who heard this, they were all sad and cried endlessly.
Yuwen Ying's sideburns sticker flowers, with the gift of his sister on the bank of Fenshui to burn paper and incense, thinking that Brother Hu was "returned".
sighed: Qi Qi, sad again.
