Chapter Ninety-Three: The Northern Quest

At the beginning of June, Luoyang was said to be "ready for everything". Yuan Xiu summoned a group of henchmen and bluntly said that he wanted to conquer Jinyang in person, which scared the big guy a lot. The eldest grandson was the first to shout "inappropriate", and the ingots torch followed.

Although Hu Sichun has always been a strong advocate of the north, he does not want the emperor to conquer in person. The reason for this is probably that his intention to seize power is still in trouble--- the Northern Army accounts for more than half of the total strength of Luoyang, and when he turns back to go on the expedition, he is the main force of the Chinese army. If the emperor wants to conquer in person, he will naturally become the commander of the Chinese army, so what is there to do with him?

The commanders of the three armies all said so, and Yuan Xiu had no choice but to give up.

So June 20 was set as an auspicious day, and the three armies set out together. The Chinese army took Hu Sichun as the governor of the capital, held the festival, and appointed Jiang Jin, a regular servant of the loose cavalry, as the long history, and his troops mainly attacked Jianzhou, and went straight to Jinyang. The right army took the Yuanbao torch as the governor of the capital, and after crossing the Yellow River, its troops advanced to the northeast along the Taihang Mountains, threatening Yecheng, and looking for an opportunity to break through the Fukou to enter Shanxi. The left army took Changsun Zhi as the governor of the capital, and because of its small number of people, he ordered him to be stationed in the key pass of the North Central City first, thinking that he was mobile and reinforcing the middle and right armies at any time.

Pei Guozi also participated in the secret, and he urgently reported to Chang'an. A few days later, Yuwentai's envoy rushed to Luoyang and reported to the Son of Heaven Yuan Xiu, saying that Yuwentai had sent the right servant of Guanxi Daxing Taishangshu and the auxiliary general Ko Luo to Feng Yi, leading Huazhou soldiers and horses 5,000 to the west of the river, and could attack Puhanjin at any time to enter the Jin land. Yuwentai started Yongzhou 20,000 steps from his own, settled in Tongguan, only to wait for June 20, when the north traced the wind to Lingdu, a total of Shanxi.

When Yuan Xiu heard the news, he danced with joy, and said to his henchmen again and again: "It's a big deal! It's a big deal! ”

In addition, the envoy also came with a thousand light cavalry led by the general Yuwenhu of Yingyang, in the words of Yuwentai, this is to worry about the emptiness of Luoyang, and to strengthen the soldiers and horses in case of Hou Jing of Yuzhou. Pei Guo comprehended, smiled and said nothing.

Soon, the Guanxi Daxing Taishang Shu Youcheng and the Jianjie general Helianda led a thousand light horsemen to Luo. Yuan Xiu did not doubt that he had him, and he should be rewarded by the palace.

。。。。。。

In the third year of Wei Yongxi (the sixth year of Liangzhong Datong), on June 20, the Son of Heaven Yuanxiu personally ascended the high platform at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, made a generous statement, and directly reprimanded Gao Huan for forming a party for personal gain, plotting to usurp rebellion, and ordered the world to fight against him.

The drums were impressive, and the 100,000-strong army shouted "Long live", which was also amazing. Immediately, the three armies went out together and marched north.

Yuan Xiu returned to Luoyang City, Wu Zi was in a state of agitation, and there was nothing to do, and as soon as he launched a ruthless attack, he ordered the abolition of the position of Empress Gaohe and imprisoned him in Kim Yong City.

。。。。。。

On June 27, the main force of Hu Sichun's Chinese army arrived at Gaodu in Jianzhou (now Jincheng City, Shanxi Province), and after a slight attack, Murong Shaozong, the guerrilla general of Jianzhou Assassin and Guerrilla General, abandoned the city. The northern army won the first battle, and took the important town of Gaodu in one fell swoop, the door of Jindi has been opened, and it only needs to drive straight into Jinyang.

Hu Sichun didn't expect it to be so smooth, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but be very proud: "It turns out that this Murong Shaozong is a vain person at all, and Gao Huan actually attacked Gao repeatedly at the beginning, so it can be seen that the soldiers and horses of the high thief are just like this, haha." ”

Jiang Jin, the long history, said yes again and again, and immediately wrote a wonderful pen, and the good news went to Luoyang.

On June 29, the right army of the Yuanbao Torch Department entered Chaoge (now Qi County, Hebi City, Henan Province).

Shi Gaohuan, the former general Mo Duolou loaned Wen as the governor of the left chamber to guard Xiangzhou, and when he heard the news, he led 5,000 steps to ride out of Yecheng and went to Chaoge to confront the Yuan Bao Torch. Due to the disparity in the number of soldiers and horses, Mo Duolou loaned Wen Nai to close the four gates of Chaoge, thinking that he would stick to it.

The ingots torch then surrounded the song, which can be called "coercing Yecheng".

Two military reports to Luoyang, Yuan Xiu was overjoyed, claiming that "the mandate of heaven is in the body", and immediately sent Yingchuan Wang Yuanbin as an envoy, and the general Meng Du of Zhizhai led a battalion of Yulin to escort him, and went to Gaodu to reward the Chinese army of Hu Sichun and urge the troops to march into Jinyang; He also sent Qinghe Wang Yuangan to Chaoge to reward the right army of the Yuanbao Torch Department, urging him to conquer Chaoge, take Yecheng directly, and lead a battalion of tigers to protect it with Pan Shao, the general of Zhihou.

In addition, he also sent an envoy to urge the left army of Changsun Zhi's department to go north to Gaodu, thinking that Hu Sichun was a backup.

。。。。。。

On the fourth day of the seventh month, the supreme capital of Yingchuan Wang Yuanbin, as if he was the superintendent of the army, repeatedly urged Hu Sichun to march into Jinyang as soon as possible. Although Hu Sichun was dissatisfied, he also wanted to succeed in this greedy achievement, so he led the whole army to advance rapidly, and arrived in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping City, Jincheng, Shanxi Province) in one day and night.

The 60,000 army entered the Dan River Valley, and it was a hot day, but for some reason, when they arrived here, they felt cold all over their bodies for no reason. The sky in the valley is dark, and the wind is gusting, and it sounds like a whining ghost, which makes people hairy. Hu Sichun was taken aback, so he asked the local natives: "Where is this?" How can it be so eerie? ”

"This kills the valley also!" The natives trembled: "Legend has it that this place was originally an ancient battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of people died. A few years ago, people dug the ground here, and everywhere they dug up ge, spears, arrowheads, and human bones came out. ”

"Here... Yuan Binzhi's color suddenly changed: "Isn't it the place where Wu Anjun of the Qin State killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State?" Oh, 400,000 unjust souls are here, no wonder this valley is so gloomy. This place is unknown, this place is unknown! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was terrified. Hu Sichun was so angry that he almost jumped on the spot: Yuan Binzhi, stupid!

Morale dropped sharply, and Hu Sichun had no choice but to drink the order to speed up in order to get out of the valley as soon as possible. As a result, as soon as the order was given, the whole army immediately became chaotic, scurrying around like headless flies, and the formation was completely scattered.

When it was, the horn sounded, and the dense forests on both sides of the valley did not know how many soldiers and horses were killed, and for a while the arrows were like rain, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the northern army was immediately in chaos.

"In the middle of the ambush!" Hu Sichun was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out a little higher to cover his eyes and look far away, and saw that the battle flag in front of him was like a cloud, and half of the Tai were written with the words "Tianzhu General Gao", and countless armor soldiers under his banner were waiting to rush to kill. The general who rushed to the front, a horse lance like lightning and thunder, everywhere he went, he was invincible. Hu Sichun recognized it clearly, could it be Gao Aocao who was the champion of Yongguan?

"This Gao Huan is also very close!" Hu Sichun's face was like ashes, and he knew that there was no way to return to heaven, so he turned his horse's head sharply and fled with his whip. . . .

In the first battle of Changping, Gao Huan personally led the army to set up an ambush successfully, and attacked with Gao Aocao as the arrow, and beat 60,000 Chinese troops in the north without the power to fight back, more than half of them died and surrendered on the spot, and most of the rest fled, and finally those who were able to escape back to Gaodu were less than 10,000. Hu Sichun saw the opportunity early and escaped with his life; Changshi Jiang Jin died in the chaos; Yingchuan Wang Yuanbin was rescued desperately by the general Meng Du of Zhizhai, but Meng Du died of his own injuries. . .

On the eighth day of the seventh month, the Yuan Bao Torch outside the city of Chaoge was commanding the army to attack on all sides, and suddenly the east head drum sounded loudly, and the two fine horsemen killed like a swift wind, and the city also opened the door to kill, thinking that it echoed. The right army of the north was caught off guard, and was attacked from three sides, and immediately fell behind.

There were many soldiers in the north, and it was still possible to fight, but the right army was built in a hurry, and there were many people from Hebei and Qingqi in the army. Yuan Bao Ju and Qinghe Wang Yuanyan were only spared, and the general Pan Shao of Zhihou fought hard and died in battle.

It turned out that Qingzhou Dou Tai and Yanzhou Peng Le each led 3,000 light horsemen, and they came day and night. The two of them had already discussed with Mo Duo Lou Loan, first using Mo Duo Lou Loan Wen as bait, dragging the northern army in Chaoge, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yuan Bao Torch, to suddenly carry out a sneak attack, and really competed in one fell swoop!

Speaking of which, Gao Huan is really called an old treacherous and cunning, and he has been silent, letting Yuan Xiuke toss hard. Thinking about it now, in fact, Gao Huan had already prepared a net of heaven and earth, but he was just waiting for the opportunity, and sure enough, with a thunderous blow, he taught Luoyang 100,000 northern army to collapse in one fell apart.

Besides, here in Beizhong City, the eldest grandson Zhi received Yuan Xiu's order early in the morning, but he was reluctant to leave. As a result, as soon as the news of the defeat of Hu Sichun Changping came, Changsun Zhi immediately changed people, and the order was immediately opened, but the direction of this opening was opened. . . It's like going north, but going south.

。。。。。。

Several reports of defeat reached Luoyang, Yuan Xiu was like a mourner, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly jumped up, hoarse: "Where is Yuwentai?" Where is he? Where did the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong go? ”

No one could answer.

Yuan Xiu was in a hurry, and when he wanted to summon Pei Guo to ask, a lieutenant officer had already said beside him: "Hou Jing is coming, didn't Your Majesty allow General Pei to lead General Jianjie General Helianda and Yingyang General Yuwenhu to Xingyang to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Yuan Xiu was speechless and sat down. Overnight, both temples were white.
