The Jin army camp at Yuhu Beach

Tang Xiang, who was in the handsome tent, couldn't help but smile when he heard the news of Xiao Guan's victory after hearing the news sent by Yan Kui under the tent.

"Haha, what a Yama, what a Yan Yuanhan, it's really terrifying."

"Yes, thousands of cavalry rushed into battle, attacked and broke the camp at night, and the 50,000 army was defeated in the blink of an eye, General Yan has made a great contribution this time."

At this time, Tang Xiang was not the only one in the tent, but his deputy general, Wang Yuan, the general of the Sipin Guard, was beside him, followed by his own master with a smile on his face.

Before, Tang Xiang's department was frustrated in Yuhu Beach, Yan Kui was ordered to rush from Nanling to Jinglongling, and the two sides worked together to win the Yuhu stall.

Not to mention, later, Tang and Yan joined forces to seize Xiaoguan and Dajun County, stirring up wind and rain in the rear of the Zhou army, and making a lot of noise.

On the battlefield, life and death depend on each other, and after repeated battles, the relationship between the two is not a close comrade-in-arms, but it is also a good friendship.

Now that Yan Kui has defeated Xue Yang, not to mention the siege of Xiao Guan, it has also instantly revitalized the entire Beiling battle situation, and Tang Xiang and his subordinates are naturally happy for Yan Kui.

Wang Yuan, who is more sensitive to officialdom, even inferred: "General Yan was a four-rank tiger general because of the surprise attack before, and he was awarded the rank of lieutenant of the country, and his wife was rewarded.

Now that he has won Xiao Pass again, defeated Xue Yang again, and made many military exploits, I am afraid that the court will have to reward him again. ”

…………

When Tang Xiang heard this, a complicated expression appeared on his black face: "Yan Kui is already a fourth-grade martial artist, and then he is promoted from the fourth-grade Siping and Si'an, is there a shortage of third-grade now?" ”

"Yes, before the Pingbei general Li Hu died in the battle with the general in Caishi Mountain, the imperial court did not immediately fill the vacancy, and there was just one empty." Wang Yuan replied.

"Tut-tut......"

Tang Xiang became more and more emotional, and shook his head: "I heard that before this battle, Yan Kui was only a six-rank captain? ”

"That's right."

Wang Yuan nodded with a smile, and then talked about Yan Kui's resume.

"General Yan is originally from Tong'an Mansion, Yongzhou, and I heard that it was originally just a county militia regiment training, and because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Liupin by the local general soldiers.

After the outbreak of the Great War, Di Shuai was ordered to gather men and horses from everywhere, and General Yan was therefore transferred to the current Nanling General Qin Qi, and then, General Yan performed well in the Battle of Yanlin, defeating the Western Zhou Anbei General Suo Ya and Li Wang Changshi Zhu Changsheng, and the Tuxian Zhou army collapsed.

Peng Shuai was overjoyed, promoted him to the rank of General Wupin Huben, and entrusted him with an important task to let General Yan follow Changzhen to attack Ping'an Town, the granary of the Zhou army.

Later, it is estimated that you will also know that General Yan made great contributions in Ping'an Town, burned the granary of the Zhou army, and led his troops to break through the siege under the encirclement and interception of tens of thousands of troops, becoming famous in a battle, shaking the entire front line of the two countries.

Afterwards, General Yan was promoted two levels in a row and made a lieutenant, which is his current position. ”

……………

Any general who works the battlefield can ignore anything, but he can't disrespect these military exploits with one knife and one shot.

After listening to Wang Yuan's resume of Yan Kui, Tang Xiang's face turned away from emotion and turned into solemnity.

"Originally, I only said that I would have been in the army for many years, but now I have been overtaken by a junior and put each other on an equal footing, now it seems that it is not that our old soup is not angry, but that Yan Yuanhan is powerful, how to say that sentence, what is the current situation.........

Tang Xiang said that he had forgotten a little word, and Wang Yuan picked it up in time with a look in his eyes.

"The general wants to say that the times make heroes."

"Yes, yes, that's the word."

Tang Xiang was stunned, and then continued: "This general can be regarded as a veteran general who can fight, but he has been in the army for more than 20 years, and there are only a few victories that can be said, and most of them are not commanded by me."

Although Yan Kui has been in the army for a short time, he can fight and kill, and he has many merits, which is admirable.

The messenger just now said that Yan Kui would not lead his troops to meet our army in the near future? ”

"Yes."

Wang Yuan replied: "Xiao Guan won a big victory, the Zhou army retreated to Youzhou, and it was impossible to make a comeback in a short time, so General Yan wanted to unite with our department again, fight Jun County, open up the channel with Di Shuai, and the two sides joined forces, and the situation was more favorable to our army." ”

"Great goodness, this is a good policy."

Tang Xiang stroked his palms and laughed, and said to Wang Yuan: "Tell me to go down, when Yan Kui comes at this time, tell the little ones not to rely on my momentum to be domineering, looking at the momentum of the other party, I'm afraid it won't be long before our old Tang will have to call a general in front of him." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and arched his hand: "Don't worry, general, your subordinates will definitely make proper arrangements." ”

………

Soon after Tang and Wang talked, Yan Kui received a reply from the messenger that Tang Xiang agreed to attack Jun County, and immediately left the deputy general to guard Xiao Pass, and he ordered the two thousand white-robed troops that had just been recruited, and joined the three thousand Jin troops, a total of 5,000 men and horses, and came to the Yuhu Beach.

Yuhu Beach as the only place for Beiling Mansion to Youzhou, and Xiao Guan, the gateway to Beiling, is not very far away, Yan Kui's march speed is fast, only one night and half a day's effort, to lead the army to the vicinity of Yuhu Beach.

Tang Xiang learned the news in the camp and sent his deputy general Wang Yuan to greet him in person.

Two miles outside the Jin army camp on Yuhu Beach

Looking at the "Yan" flag played by the army in front of him, Wang Yuan asked the rest of the soldiers to wait in place, and he beckoned two personal guards to urge the horse to go forward, until he was a hundred steps away from the army, Wang Yuan reported to his home in a loud voice.

"Wang Yuan, the deputy general of Tang Pingdong and the general of the guards, was ordered to come to greet General Yan."

As soon as Wang Yuan's words came out, he saw the figure in front of him shaking, and after a while, a few horses broke out of the crowd, led by Yan Kui, who was riding a red flame horse.

As soon as he saw Wang Yuan, an old acquaintance, he immediately smiled and said hello heartily.

"Brother Bo Shi (Wang Yuan's character), why bother you to come in person."

"General Yan returned victorious, which strengthened the momentum of our army, and Wang Yuan naturally wanted to welcome the heroes in person to show his respect." Wang Yuan sat on his horse and replied with a smile.

"They are all serving the imperial court, and Brother Bo Shi exalted me too much." Yan Kui said modestly.

"How is your military merit, we have a bright scale in our hearts, General Yan doesn't have to be too modest, General Pingdong has already set up a celebration banquet for you in the camp, the general will quickly follow me into the camp." Wang Yuan said.

"It's fine."

Yan Kui nodded, stretched out his hand back, and shouted: "March, enter the camp." ”

There are 2,000 white-robed troops here, and the group of soldiers and horses under Yan Kui's command are disciplined, and they don't have to worry about the thousands of households and hundreds of households below, and they directly form a queue formation and march quickly and neatly towards the Jin army camp in Yuhu Beach.

The strictness and strictness of its orders and prohibitions made Wang Yuan and others repeatedly look sideways.

It is worthy of the elite who carried the 50,000 Zhou army and attacked for half a month, and then destroyed the other party, this formation.

Quite a must!

In the fifteenth year of the calendar, March 16

Yan Kui and Tang Xiang sent a total of 18,000 troops, and the soldiers were two to Jun County.

At this time, the news of Southern Chu's dispatch of troops had already begun to spread near Beiling.

However, because the Chu army and the Jin army did not officially engage in large-scale battles at this time, everyone's opinion on the situation in Gyeongnam was still unclear.

But it is undeniable that the Chu army sent troops, which is a great test for the Jin army, if the war in the south is erosive, I am afraid that the Beiling side will have to send troops and horses to support, and at that time the Beiling war may have to make waves again.

Fortunately, Yan Kui defeated Xue Yang in Xiaoguan and relieved the siege of Xiaoguan, which made the Jin army feel some relief in their depression.

But this news is not a good thing for Zhou Jun.

Jun County, County Ya

Hearing that Yan Kui had defeated Xue Yang, Lu Ba, who had just been happy for two days because of Nanchu's troops, angrily cut down a jujube tree in his courtyard.

"The 50,000-strong army surrounded the house for half a month, and the fart was not knocked down, but more than 1,000 people almost killed the main general in the battle array, such a waste, can he also be General Annan?

Lao Tzu is a bolted dog in front of an army of 50,000, and he will not be defeated so quickly. ”

Poor Lu Fanglian and Lu Fangxu brothers, they didn't even eat early in the morning, so they were pulled over by their own father, watching him scold Xue Yang wildly, his face was sprayed with saliva but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, it was extremely pitiful.

Finally, after Lu Ba scolded for half an hour, when he finally felt thirsty and tired, the dog-legged brothers hurriedly brought the tea, and then asked cautiously.

"Dad, what are we going to do now?"

"What else can I do?"

Marquis Lu rolled his eyes: "Defend Jun County and wait for the opportunity." ”

"When?" The Lu brothers were a little confused.

Lu Ba glanced at his son and had the intention to scold him, but unfortunately when he scolded Xue Yang just now, he almost vomited out the words in his stomach, and he couldn't think of how to scold these two waste sons for a while, so he simply sighed and said.

"Didn't I tell the two of you before, Ji Linbing and Ning Dewu have already discussed, when the Southern Chu sends troops and the Northern Jin is distracted, we will take the opportunity to confront the Zhou army.

If the situation is strong, our army will come back and compete with the Jin army, if the situation is unfavorable, we can also rely on the opportunity of the staff Nanchu to send troops, stick to Beiling, and negotiate with the Jin army.

At the moment, the Chu army does not know how the battle situation in Gyeongju is, but Yan Kui Xiaoguan won a big victory, and united with Tang Xiang to attack Jun County, our army's already embarrassing situation is even worse, if my expectations are not bad, at this moment Beiling City has begun to plan peace talks with Di Yi. ”

"With such a big advantage in the Jin army, will it agree to peace talks? Last time Ning Shuai sent someone to Jin Ying, wasn't he driven out? Lu Fang continued to wonder.

"Absolutely."

Lu Ba smiled slightly: "Do you think that Di Yi had an advantage before, why didn't he attack Beiling, isn't he afraid that I only have 400,000 troops left, and I would rather be broken than broken by the jade, not for the whole of the tile, and the Northern Jin Dynasty can't afford this price."

That's why he used the siege strategy, wanting to drag us to death, so that our morale was extremely low, and then took the initiative to surrender, when Ning Dewu wanted to negotiate peace and withdraw the army, he naturally would not agree.

But now, the situation has changed, Southern Chu intervened and attacked Gyeongju, resulting in the Northern Jin Dynasty being unable to confront our army in Beiling with all its strength, and more importantly, with Southern Chu watching, Di Yi was even more afraid that we would die with the fish, resulting in heavy losses for the Jin army.

In this case, as long as we can not show defeat and stabilize our position, and fight a few more beautiful battles on the Southern Chu side to put some pressure on the Northern Jin Dynasty, there is a great chance of peace talks between Jin and Zhou. ”

…………

After saying this, Lu Ba's face also looked a little better: "Therefore, although Yan Kui Xiaoguan's victory has a lot of impact, it has not really caused our army to fall into a desperate situation, but now it has come to attack Jun County, but it has hit our army by seven inches." ”

"Dad, why is that?" The second Lu Fang continued to ask.

"Hmph, let you read more military books on weekdays, you prefer to have fun, and you have to ask your father for such a simple question?"

The second child was puzzled, but the eldest Lu Fanglian still had some vision, and he pulled his younger brother and explained.

"Where Jun County is located, it is just between Yan Kui and Di Yi, our army has Jun County, which can prevent the two divisions from joining forces in one place, and at the same time can also exert defensive space, with Beiling, Xiechun County, and Jun County, forming a triangular formation to strengthen and consolidate our army's defense.

On the contrary, if Jun County is lost, there will be no barrier between Nayan and Di, and the two sides will join forces, directly cutting off our back road.

Moreover, Jun County is lost, and there is no danger to defend the Xiechun behind it, and if you send yourself, you will be taken by the Jin army, and at that time, Beiling Mansion City will be a lonely city, and it will be handled by the Jin army.

Just now, my father said that Ning Shuai and they want to negotiate with the Jin army, if Junxian is in hand, after we negotiate with the Jin army, we can go to Yuhu Beach - Xiaoguan from now on, instead of being tied up with the main force of the Jin army where Di Yi is located, and return to Youzhou directly.

And if there is no Jun County, there is a lonely city in Beiling, even if the peace talks are completed, our army will not dare to go out of the city and return to China, after all, who knows if Di Yi has planted ambushes and ambushed us. ”

"Oh, I see."

Lu Fangxu suddenly realized, and said a little solemnly: "Junxian is in the hands of our army, which can not only block the Jin army's joint forces, but also our army's retreat, the most important thing." ”

"That's right."

Seeing that his two sons had opened his mind, Lu Ba was a little relieved: "Because of this, Jun County must not be lost." ”

Lu Fanglian straightened his chest: "Dad, don't worry, although Yan Kui is brave, but the troops are too small, there are 50,000 troops hidden in Jun County, and there are your old guards, so it will be safe." ”

Before Yan Kui attacked Jun County for the first time, the guard was in a hurry, Lu Ba led 50,000 soldiers and horses to help, and then Yan Kui because of Xue Yang's attack, back to guard Xiao Pass, Lu Ba wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but was blocked by Tang Xiang, although in the end Yu Yu returned to Jun County to sit in the town, but the soldiers and horses were not lost too little.

Coupled with the original Junxian garrison, Lu Ba's soldiers under his command at this time were in their early 50,000s, so in the face of Yan Kui's attack, although the Lu family father and son were jealous, they were not too worried.

Yan Kui is awesome, he can charge into battle with a thousand horses and shoot Xue Yang.

But no matter how awesome he is, can he capture a well-defended city with several times the number of troops higher than himself?

If Yan Kui can really do it, he Lu Ba will change his surname from now on, and follow Yan Kui's surname Yan, called Yan Ba, and the brothers of the Lu family will also change it, called Yan Fanglian and Yan Fangxu.........
