Chapter 90: The First Battle of the Tiance Army (1)
"How did this Gao Renhou agree so quickly? Didn't he see what His Highness meant? ”
Similarly, after Gao Renhou and his subordinates left, in Li Ye's main account, Zheng Ningji also had some doubts. If Gao Renhou really didn't see it, then the other party was not as shrewd as he imagined; But if you see it, why does the other party agree?
Zheng Ningji didn't understand, and Sun Ye and Pei Rong were also puzzled. Although the three of them are not bad, their combat acuity is not good, even Pei Rong, who has been dealing with the military affairs of the Tiance Army for more than a year, did not understand Gao Renhou's thoughts.
"Your Highness, the lower officials may know why Gao Renhou agreed so easily." Just when Zheng Ningji and the others were worried, Xu Shiren, who was in the position of the head of several people, suddenly spoke.
Xu Shiren is a man in his 30s, but he has a thick beard on his face, and for some reason, he is only in his 30s, and his hair is all white. I heard that the other party saw his family being brutally killed by the Huangchao rebels, so he turned white overnight, and he didn't know if it was true or not.
The other party was originally the head of the military department, and was later recommended as the judge of the Tiance Army. The position of judge was not uncommon at this time, but the judges below the Temperance Envoy, the Observation Envoy, and the Defense Envoy were generally not the chief officials, but belonged to the staff, and the judges in the Heavenly Ce Army and the Divine Ce Army were the main officials. In the Tiance Army, the judge is not Li Ye's deputy, but the deputy of the marching Sima, who is responsible for assisting the marching Sima in handling daily affairs.
"Oh, what does Judge Xu think?" Li Ye couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that it was Xu Shiren.
For Xu Shiren, he doesn't know much, he usually talks very little, but he is quite serious in his work, and even Pei Rong has to admit that with his help, he has a lot of things to do.
"Your Highness, although there are nine thousand rebels in Xinjin, they are not the main force of the rebels, and they should not be Gao Renhou's opponents. The reason why Gao Renhou agreed so quickly may be because of Qiongzhou, Xinjin is only 80 miles away from Linqiong County (the capital of Qiongzhou), and Xia Guan guessed that Gao Renhou's real target was in Linqiong County. Xu Shiren must have said.
Xu Shiren's words woke up the people in the dream, not only Li Ye, but also Sun Ye, Pei Rong and others discovered this problem. None of them considered it from a strategic point of view, so naturally they didn't expect this, and Xu Shiren's words undoubtedly woke them up.
After knowing that Gao Renhou's real target was Linqiong County, everyone was naturally surprised, they thought things were too simple, and even Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"This Gao Renhou is somewhat interesting!"
After resting in the field that night, the Xichuan army and the Tiance army went their separate ways the next day, Li Ye naturally led the Tiance army to Wenjiang County, and Gao Renhou led the army to Shuangliu. On the very day that the Tiance army entered Wenjiang, its scouts engaged in a skirmish with the rebel sentinels, so the rebels also knew that the imperial army was coming.
。。。。。。
Luo Fuzi, who was stationed at the junction of Wenjiang and Shuzhou, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he learned that the imperial army launched a tentative attack the next day after arriving in Wenjiang County. After they defeated Yang Xingqian's army, they were also a little proud, thinking that the imperial army was nothing more than that, and with their understanding of the imperial army, they would not react so quickly.
And even if you arrive at Wenjiang, shouldn't you familiarize yourself with the battle situation before attacking?
Originally, according to their plan, Luo Mingqing and their 8,000 troops only needed to confront the imperial army in the north of Shuzhou, so that the imperial army could not reinforce Shuzhou. And they are going all out to take Shuzhou, and then the main force will go north and defeat the imperial army together. I didn't expect the imperial army not only to come, but also to come so quickly.
Hearing the attack of the imperial army, Luo Fuzi's adviser said, "The general doesn't need to panic, as far as I know, the army in front of you is the Tiance Army, the brother of the emperor in Chengdu, a child who is only 15 years old.
Although the Tiance army has a large number, so many troops are commanded by a child, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we use a little trick, let the officers and soldiers enter our trap, and then directly defeat the officers and troops in front of us. If he can defeat the official army in front of him, and then capture the little prince alive, the general will definitely be famous at that time, and it may not be comparable to Qianneng. If the general then captures Chengdu, the general will be the next Yellow Nest. ”
Not to mention that it is comparable to Huang Chao, just being able to sit on an equal footing with Qian Neng also makes Luo Fuzi very excited.
He, Luo Mingqing and others all raised troops to help Qianneng, but now it's good, Qianneng's own cronies went to fight Shuzhou, and they were sent to confront the imperial army. They didn't complain in their hearts that it was impossible, but they had to give in because of their strength.
Thinking of this, he sent someone to contact Luo Qingming, the two were people of the same clan, and the relationship was naturally close. Although he was very excited about the benefits of defeating the Tiance Army, he was not crazy, he could defeat the Tiance Army with only five thousand people, and if he had Luo Chaoqing's help, he would undoubtedly be more sure.
Li Ye naturally traveled with the army, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the situation of the rebels, and after learning that the rebels took the initiative to meet the battle, and were defeated after the battle, he was a little puzzled. Is the rebels too watery, or is Ouyang Jing's troops too strong?
Ouyang Jing's capital, Li Ye naturally knew the situation, although the training was very hard, but after all, most of the soldiers had never been on the battlefield, and there were more rebels than Ouyang Jing's army, how could they collapse at the first touch.
"Your Highness, Xiaguan thinks there is fraud in it." Pei Rong said thoughtfully, brushing the beard on his chin, as if everything was under control.
"This king also knows that there is fraud, but what is the problem is the most important thing." Li Ye naturally didn't believe that the rebels wanted to defeat their 7,000 troops just with the 5,000 people in front of them, if the rebels were so strong, they would have taken Shuzhou a long time ago.
"Your Highness, don't forget that there is still a rebel army stationed in Shuangliu near Shuzhou, although there are not many, but there are also three thousand people, if we are killed with the frontal rebels, this rebel army will kill from behind us, it will be troublesome." Xu Shiren reminded.
As soon as Xu Shiren said this, Li Ye reacted, and immediately understood why the rebels in front of him were about to collapse, and it is estimated that the reason is here.
"Give General Liu an order to lead both Sun Jiameng and Yuan Zhiqing as a rear army to guard against rebels who may come from the east." Li Ye commanded in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, what about the rebels in front of you?" Pei Rong asked.
"Let Li Hong pursue the rebels, but let him be aware that there may be rebel traps ahead." Li Ye said.
"Isn't it too hasty for both to face five thousand rebels." Pei Rong said worriedly.
Because Sun Ye and Zheng Ningji did not understand military affairs, they did not follow, but stayed in Wenjiang County and did a good job in the defense of Wenjiang County. Those who followed Li Ye's actions were naturally the Tiance Army and the accompanying soldiers who protected his safety.
"Pei Sima forgot that our Tiance Army still has a cavalry?" Xu Shiren said with a smile.
Only then did Pei Rong understand Li Ye's thoughts, although the rebels were numerous, they had poor weapons, and the lack of cavalry was their shortcoming. Although Pei Rong is not good at fighting, he also knows that if the infantry is fighting fiercely, the cavalry will kill from the side, which will be very deadly for the enemy.
"Your Highness is clever." Seeing that Li Ye did not object, Pei Rong hurriedly complimented.
However, Pei Rong was a little dissatisfied with Xu Shiren, he didn't find that this subordinate who rarely spoke actually knew how to steal the limelight so well, but Li Ye was in front of him, and he was not good at the other party.
Li Ye didn't pay attention to Pei Rong's expression, because his gaze had already turned to the front at this time.
In the front army, Li Hong led Peng Hedu and Ouyang Jingdu to converge and quickly chased after the rebels in front of him, but the two were very orderly and maintained a neat formation, after getting Li Ye's reminder, Li Hong guessed that the fleeing rebels in front of him were bait, and he was a fish.
However, what the rebels may not know is that their fish is actually a bait, and in the woods a few miles behind him, Liu Kuizheng is leading more than a thousand cavalry to hide.
Just when Li Hong led the army and was about to catch up with the fleeing rebels in front of him, the more than 2,000 rebels in front of him actually stopped and turned their heads to attack them. At this time, Li Hong discovered that there was a small forest a mile away, and he understood that this was a trap for the rebels.
"Command to go down and get ready for battle!"
