For three consecutive days, the Tang army led by Li Jing crossed the Yellow River and entered the Hetao area. There was no big boat to cross the river on a sheepskin raft, which made Li Jing feel helpless, but fortunately, there was no Jin army to defend the Hetao area at this time, so Li Jing was able to cross the river calmly.
At this time, a small school Pegasus went straight to Li Jing, and then stepped forward and asked, "General, the lord has a message." ”
"Speak."
"The lord asked, why did he change the offensive route without permission, abandon Puxian to attack the east of the river and cross the river west into the loop?"
"You can report back to the lord, the Hedong Jin army hundreds of thousands to work, our army can not attack, now occupy the Hetao can go south to attack Shuofang on the same day, close to the Yuwen Chengdu army, after breaking the Yuwen Chengdu army, you can relieve the siege of the capital, it is like a fierce battle with the Jin army in Hedong, both defeated."
"The villain immediately rushed back to Jinyang to report to the lord that he knew." After receiving Li Jing's personal reply, the junior colonel hurriedly got on his horse and left.
"Brother Yaoshi, after I cross the river, I will be far away from Jinyang, if someone occupies the ferry east of the river, our army will have no way back." Xu Maogong rushed to Li Jing and reminded him in a whisper, in his eyes, this trip was a real adventure.
"Ben Shuai has already thought that before crossing the river, he left 5,000 men and horses to defend the city in the three cities of Pingyi, Shizhou and Fangshan in Jinxi, and these three cities can be safeguarded without losing the back road of our army. Besides, Yang Guanghe's Eastern Army has never attacked our Jinyang, and when Yang Guang's army is besieging the capital, it has never taken the initiative to open up a second battlefield and attack my Jinyang. ”
"This ---, is that there are still more than 30 Jin troops in Hedong County today! If a few roads suddenly attack, I Jinyang will not have enough troops left, won't I fall into passivity? Yang Guang's use of soldiers is extremely cunning, and the pharmacist must not be guarded against! ”
"Then what should Yimao Gong do when he sees our army? Don't you take this rich place in the river loop? ”
"This ---" Xu Maogong was speechless.
At the moment of embarrassment, a group of people and horses in the distance chased after him, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Chai Shao, the chief secretary of the army who supervised the grain and grass in the rear army.
"Brother Yaoshi, he crossed the river for his brother last, but he got a message from Luzhou, saying that Yang Guang sent the Central Plains to exterminate the victorious army of 150,000 Tang Bi, and Wu Tianxi led him to aid Luzhou. If the time has also arrived in Luzhou at this time, you must be guarded against! ”
"Huh! Yang Guang was afraid that our army would go south and enter the hinterland of Hedong County, so he urgently sent reinforcements to garrison Luzhou. ”
"Before that, Yang Guang had ordered Hou Junji, the defender of Zezhou, to lead tens of thousands of horses back to Luzhou, and the soldiers defending Luzhou were enough, and now there is a large army entering Luzhou, what does this mean? Don't be unguarded! After listening to what Chai Shao said, Xu Maogong couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and secretly felt bad. Why did Yang Guang, the king of Jin, send the general Wu Tianxi to lead the army into Hedong when there were enough men and horses to defend him? It doesn't seem to be for defense? Moreover, Wu Tianxi, the former "Golden Invincible" general in Tuoluo Village, Taihang Mountain, was not a defensive general, and Wu Tianxi's appearance must be for attack. Xu Maogong knows much more about the heroes of the rivers and lakes than Li Jing, who has just debuted.
"Hmmm! Mao Gong's statement is reasonable. But our army has already crossed the river, and seeing that this ownerless land belongs to my Jinyang, how can I give up when I see that the grain in this field is about to ripen? Wu Tianxi's arrival surprised Li Jing, the situation seemed to have changed from what he had expected, and he broke away from his prediction, and couldn't help but ask Xu Maogong with some hesitation.
"Brother Yaoshi, no matter what, our army should also be ready to return to Jinyang. If Jinyang is attacked and our army cannot return in time, Jinyang will be in danger! ”
"Anyway, it is enough for Ben Shuai to occupy the Hetao with 150,000 soldiers! Mao Gong could send 100,000 horses back to western Jin, and stationed troops in Pingyi, Shizhou and Fangshan. If Jinyang is attacked, you can lead the army back in a hurry, and you can also ensure the rear of our army. This is a compromise that Li Jing can think of, Xu Mao's public department in the center is like a porter, taking into account Jinyang at one end and Hetao at the other.
"It's good! Poor Dao led the army back to defend the three cities and guarded the rear for the pharmacist's virtuous brother. Xu Maogong agreed.
After Li Jing nodded, he rushed forward. After Xu Maogong, all the generals stopped, waiting for Xu Maogong's order.
"Brothers, now the marshal has assigned 100,000 horses to the poor road, and ordered to return to the three cities in the west of Jinxi, and my brothers will all go together and go." After that, Xu Maogong crossed the river and returned with the 100,000 horses and his own brothers from Li Jingzhong's military banner.
It's just that this change that made the three cities of western Jin suddenly increase troops made Wu Tianxi and Su Dingfang, who were secretly marching to Puxian, not expect. Originally, he thought that there were thousands of Tang troops stationed in each of the three cities, but now he had to face a confrontation with more than 100,000 Tang troops, and his own strength advantage was suddenly lost, not to mention that he would face siege battles.
Yuwen Chengdu, who was fighting in the capital, also received the news that his station, Hetao, was attacked by the Tang army in Jinyang that day, and couldn't help but be furious.
"What an old Li Yuan, so despicable. I should return to the army and retake the loop. It's time for the old general Pei Renji to behave, he can't get out of here, so he asks the old general to return to Shuofang City, and wait for the opportunity to send troops north to recapture the land of the Hetao for the lord, are you willing? Yuwen Chengdu said to Pei Renji, who went south with the army to besiege the capital.
"The last general is willing to return to Shuofang City and mobilize Shuofang defenders to attack Hetao and expel the Tang army." Pei Renji responded.
"Since this is in mind, Ben Shuai asked General Wei Wentong to return to Shuofang with you to drive away the Tang army."
"This ---"
"What? Don't want to? ”
"No, no, the last general is willing to return to Shuofang with General Wei, with General Wei here, it will be easy to recapture the Hetao." Originally, I thought that I was finally free from Yuwen Chengdu's hostage, and I felt happy in my heart, but I didn't want to send the general Wei Wentong to supervise him, which made Pei Renji unhappy, but he couldn't say it clearly, although he was bitter in his heart, he had to agree.
"General Wei, this commander will give you 20,000 horses, accompany General Pei Lao to return to Shuofang City, and don't let the Tang army occupy the Hetao and then go south again, it is a great achievement to give this commander the convenience of guarding Shuo."
"Yes, General. If there is a general, the Tang army will not want to occupy Shuofang City again, and the general will drive the Tang army out of the loop. ”
"Defend Shuofang City first, and after the matter here is finished, General Ben rashly drove the Tang soldiers out of the Hetao, and it is advisable to hold Shuofang first, remember."
"The last general has written it down."
"Get ready to go! Return to the army tomorrow morning at the latest. ”
"Yes."
Two days later, Wei Wentong and Pei Renji returned to Shuofang City together, and they couldn't hold on to it.
On the same day, Xu Maogong led 100,000 Tang troops back to Pingyi City, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal here, he calmed down a little.
"Brothers, there are two cities of Fangshan and Shizhou from north to south, Shizhou is in the middle, and I am leveling the southernmost. Poor Dao plans to lead the main force to garrison Shizhou, which can take care of the two cities in the north and south. There are 5,000 people and horses in this Pingyi City, and 20,000 horses are left here in the poor road. Xu Maogong sat on the handsome chair and asked his brothers who started in this class.
"Brother can stay, you can wait." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly answered.
"Huh! Biting Jin Xiandi's battle to break the enemy can be the first, and you don't need to defend the city. Xu Maogong shook his feather fan and said with a smile. Biting Jin was about to argue, but was stopped by Shan Xiongxin's words.
"Brother Junshi, Shan Mou is not willing to ask the two brothers to defend Pingyi City together." I saw Shan Xiongxin coming out of the class to answer the road, and he stopped talking after biting Jin.
"Since the second brother is willing to stay, let the two brothers stay behind."
"Shan is only willing to defend the city with the two brothers Bodang and Yingdeng, and the rest of the brothers can go with the military brother to defend the other two cities."
"The younger brother is willing to accompany the second brother to guard the city here." Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng stood up and answered.
"Good! I'll leave it to the three brothers. In the afternoon, Poor Dao led the army to Shizhou to garrison, if there is something here, you can come to Shizhou to report to Poor Dao,"
"Brother Dao Chang is at his own convenience, take care of yourself all the way." Shan Xiongxin and the other three all responded with their fists clenched.
In the afternoon, looking at the army of Xu Maogong that was gradually moving away, Shan Xiongxin and the other three people at the head of the city were relieved.
"Second brother, there is finally a time to lead the troops alone, and this is the closest to Pu County." Wang Bodang whispered to Shan Xiongxin with a smile on his face.
"Huh! Oh, yes! My three brothers can wait here to watch the changes in the situation, if the Jin army wins, you and my brother will dedicate this city to the Jin army, if Luzhou uses us to wait in the army as a general, without me to wait for a rich man to return to Erxianzhuang. ”
"Hehehehehe!" All three laughed
That night, a secret letter written by Wang Bodang was sent to Luo Song in Puxian County through his confidant's house.
Luo Song was shocked when he saw this letter for the first time, and he didn't believe it until the little colonel sent the letter and showed the waist card given by the King of Jin. immediately ordered someone to treat the little colonel well, and opened the letter himself.
"Huh! The Lord is truly a man of God! There is already a layout. Luo Song laughed when he saw the letter.
"Quickly ask General Su Dingfang to come over and discuss." Immediately, Luo Song instructed the pro-military road.
After a while, Su Dingfang, who had just sneaked into the city, appeared in Luo Songshuai's mansion with his entourage.
"General Su, it's not too late for you to read this letter before discussing it." After seeing Su Dingfang enter the mansion to greet him, Luo Song handed over the secret letter in his hand.
"Oh? That's it, huh! It's a big deal! Su Dingfang laughed after seeing the letter.
"General Su has just arrived here, and after a day's rest, he can contact Wang Bodang and others to discuss taking over Pingyi City."
"Nope! Without further ado, reply to Wang Bodang immediately, our army should quietly enter this city at midnight tomorrow, and no news should be leaked. ”
"Hmmm! It works somewhat. Someone came and called the messenger. ”
After a while, the little colonel who delivered the letter for Wang Bodang came to the Shuai Mansion, greeted Luo Song and Su Dingfang, and then gave him a seat to speak.
"Brother, I don't want your family lord and general Wang to be all the confidants of the lord, this time it will be a great achievement to persuade Shan Xiongxin to dedicate the city, and there will be a heavy reward from the lord afterwards."
"Huh! General Luo, General Su, you two don't know, my family master and Daoist Xie Yingdeng joined the lord's command as early as last year, and lurked in the rivers and lakes at the behest of the lord. According to the Lord's will, it is necessary to return to the Lord at a critical time. The head of the family thought that now was the right time. How to behave and ask the two generals to show me? ”
"Good! If you are a family, you will not talk about the two families, and you will first go back to Pingyi City to inform Wang Xie and the second general, and tomorrow the main force of our Jin army will enter the city to replace the defenders, and it will not be quiet. The news leaked that Shizhou and Fangshan were not easy to take. Su Dingfang said softly.
"Don't hide it from the general, this is exactly what the head of the family intended, not to sacrifice the city during the day, only to act at night, the head of the family intends to personally lead the general's army into Pingyi City."
"Good! The brothers are resting, and it is not too late to return later when they go out of the city. ”
"Thank you, general, the head of the family is waiting for a reply, the villain will go!" After that, the junior colonel got up and bowed and followed Luo Song's personal soldiers out of the marshal's mansion.
"General Luo, the last general is the vanguard, and his 30,000 soldiers are lying in the dense forest outside the city.
"General Su doesn't need to worry, even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter, think about what kind of character Shan Xiongxin is, if he surrenders, Xu Maogong and the others will definitely not dare to stay in the Tang Army, you must know that the group of green forest heroes are all gathered together to see Shan Xiongxin's face, this dragon head has fallen, and I am afraid that the dragon body and dragon tail will not come together? Li Jing made a mistake! Hehehe! ”
"The general is reasonable, there is Wang Bodang mediating this matter, it must be as the general said, the last general seems to be too worried, hehe!"
The two of them laughed loudly in the mansion, and the surprise attack mission that they originally thought was extremely difficult suddenly became extremely simple, as simple as coming to take over the city instead of taking the city but taking over the defense.
The sight returned to the capital.
Today is the third day of the siege. According to the agreement with Zhang Xutuo, the guard of the south gate of the capital, tonight, in the dead of night, Zhang Xutuo on duty opened the city gate to welcome Yu Wenhua and the army into the city.
Everything went as planned, and the change of defense of the entire South City Gate defenders was quietly and silently. The Hongnong army defending the city was originally Zhang Xutuo's family soldiers, and they were all Hongnong's children who had followed Zhang Xutuo for many years. I already had a good impression of the Jin army, and when the two armies changed guards, they were like brothers, and they exchanged the entire South Gate defenders with tens of thousands of Jin troops.
Zhang Xutuo led his army into the Yu culture outside the city and the army tent, where there was already a military logistics canteen to provide supper for the 30,000 Hong peasant soldiers, and the two armies gathered together to rejoice, as if they were the same family.
But after all, it is a major change of guard of tens of thousands of horses, and it is impossible to keep it absolutely secret. Some of the Praetorian Guards patrolling the city had already discovered that the south gate was abnormal, and there were also Zhang Xun's henchmen who were lurking in the Hongnong Army who sneaked out of the dark night to report to Zhang Xun's mansion.
"You, what did you say? But really? Zhang Xun was woken up from the bed, pushed away the unclothed concubine and asked the henchman who broke in.
"General, how dare the little ones lie, now the south gate is full of Hedong Jin soldiers and horses, most of them are the elite of the White Horse Yi Battalion, and the small ones recognize it. The two armies are very familiar with each other, and it is obvious that Zhang Sutuo has already joined the Jin army, but the general doesn't know it. ”
"Huh?" After hearing this, Zhang Xun almost fell to the ground, looking incredulous.
"Then, why didn't the Jin army take advantage of the situation to attack the city? I couldn't hear the shouts of killing. ”
"General, the villain doesn't know why not all the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops outside the city have entered the city, but tens of thousands of horses have occupied the area around the south city gate, and they don't disturb the people."
"Quick, hurry up and follow Ben to the Yue Palace's Mansion to find the prince. Shoes, where are the shoes? Zhang Xun shouted in a panic.
Soon, the entire Yue Wangfu was a sensation. The entire mansion was in a panic, and all the people in the mansion got up and cleaned up around them.
"What's the alarm? Even if Yu Wenhua and enter the city, what can I do? Yang Su loudly reprimanded several Yang Mansion officials.
"Zhang Xun, is it true that the South Gate is lost?"
"Lord Wang, the south gate has lost all sincerity! If you don't believe it, you can send a family member to investigate. The people around the south gate woke up, and they were all going to the city! ”
"Huh?" Yang Su was dumbfounded, sat down on the chair, and held on to his hands before he slipped to the ground, knowing that something was going to happen!
