Chapter 188: Nanling's Great Victory
Quliang Mansion, Liangshui County
The Jin army battalion, the handsome tent
If it weren't for the fact that he had to maintain his previous serious and cold personality, Di Yi would probably have to grin to the edge of his ears.
No one would have thought that Nanling Mansion, which had been occupied by the Zhou army for half a year, would still hide a Jin army.
And more importantly, at such a critical moment as the battle between the two armies, this Jin army broke out, smashed the rear of the Zhou army, and stabbed the Zhou army hard, which greatly helped the main force of the Jin army in the decisive battle with the Zhou army.
Among them, the one who benefited the most was Di Yi, who was in charge of Liangshui and fought against the Nanling Zhou army, do you think he could be unhappy.
Vice Marshal Di, who was happy in his heart, admired Hua Wenzheng very much, and specially asked the chief history of the account: "What is the resume of this Nanling Tongzhi Hua Wenzheng, who set up a flag in Nanling and attacked the Zhou army in the rear." ”
Changshi, who had already done his homework in advance, got up with a smile and replied: "Qi Qi Di Shuai, Hua Wenzheng is the second son of the old marquis of Zhijing Hou Hua, who was originally the commander of Qingyuan County, and was promoted to Nanling Tongzhi because of his meritorious work in suppressing bandits.
The battle of Caishi Mountain, Hua Wen was recruited and transferred into the army, after the defeat of our army, he did not know what to do, at that time he thought that Hua Tongzhi was martyred, and now it seems that Hua Daren should gather the rout into the quarry mountain to hide, and wait for the opportunity. ”
"It turned out to be Houmen, no wonder he was trapped in the enemy territory for half a year, but he still had his heart set on the Great Jin, and he was really a loyal and loyal minister." Di Yi stroked his beard and praised.
……………
Zhijinghou Mansion as a veteran of the Northern Jin Dynasty, although it has declined a little over the years, but the name is still there, Di Yi has been guarding in Gyeonggi Town for many years, and as soon as he mentioned it, he immediately understood Hua Wenzheng's origin, and he was even more happy in his heart.
Now Hua Wenzheng is leading his troops in Nanling Mansion, like a nail, stuck in the rear of the Nanling Zhou army led by Ning Dewu, giving it a lot of pressure, so that Di Yi can see the hope of defeating the other party.
So at this time, Hua Wenzheng's Jin army has to help the main force of the Liangshui Jin army to draw the attention of the Nanling Zhou army, and it can't be easily wiped out by the Nanling defenders, so Hua Wenzheng, the main general, is undoubtedly the top priority.
Before that, Di Yi was afraid that this Jin army would have a hot brain or command was at a loss, which would lead to the annihilation of the whole army and bury the great opportunity of the Jin army, but now that he knew that Hua Wen was Houmen, Di Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, the first generation of Zhijing Marquis was also an old minister who followed Jin Taizu to fight the world, Hua Wenzheng grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and more or less must have received some influence in the art of war, even if he can't reproduce the style of Naizu, but at least the military advance and retreat should still be no problem.
As long as Hua Wenzheng understands the basic art of war, he can attack and harass the Zhou army according to the situation, provide assistance, and will not be encircled and suppressed in a short time.
This must be good news for Di Yi, who is preparing to eat Ning Dewu's Zhou army.
He didn't ask for much, as long as Hua Wenzheng could delay until the Nanling Zhou army was short of food and retreated, blocking its retreat path so that it could not retreat as he wished, then Di Yi would have the confidence to lead his troops to defeat the Nanling Zhou army.
…………
Thinking of this, Di Yi looked at Changshi, explained his battle plan one by one, and finally said.
"Find a way for our people to contact Hua Wenzheng, retell him all what Ben Shuai said just now, and tell him that as long as he can complete the task, after the matter is completed, Ben Shuai will guarantee to His Majesty that he will inherit the title of Marquis of Zhijing."
After a pause, Di Yi seemed to remember something, and continued to add: "Now Hua Wen is the same knowledge, but it is only five products, and his authority is not enough to suppress the scene, so he will pass on the general order and order Hua Wen to temporarily take the position of Yin of Nanling Mansion, and the military and civilians of Nanling will be commanded by him at will."
In a moment, you will draft a document of appointment, stamp it with the seal of the handsome, and find a way to pass it on to him. ”
According to common sense, Nanling Mansion Yin is a four-grade civil official, and he is a father of a mansion, and his status is not low, the normal process is to be the Emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and then appointed by the Ministry of Officials, although Di Yi is a high-powered former general, but he is not qualified to appoint the position of Mansion Yin.
Not to mention Fu Yin, that is, the chief soldier of the fourth rank, Di Yi only has the right to recommend, but not the qualification to appoint, he has the authority to promote the military attachés of the fifth rank and below.
If the military attaché's resume is dirty, Di Yi's appointment order may be rejected, of course, this situation rarely occurs.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Di Yi would not be able to appoint Hua Wen as the Yin of Nanling Mansion, but there is a special situation, that is, promotion in wartime.
This kind of situation is often at the moment when the war is anxious and critical, and someone is temporarily promoted to facilitate the command and assist the war, and it is too late to go through the formal process, so everything is simplified, and there can even be a certain amount of ultra vires.
……………
This kind of wartime promotion is rare, but as long as it conforms to the choice of the situation, the court will generally approve it afterwards, and most of them will turn a blind eye to those who exceed their authority or something.
Of course, with selfish intentions, deliberately overstepping the authority in wartime is not included in the promotion, once discovered, the court will not only not recognize it, but also punish the parties.
However, Di Yi let Hua Wenzheng Nanling Mansion Yin Ke have no selfish intentions, they are now in the rear of the Zhou army, the situation is changeable, and the power is complicated, if Hua Wenzheng does not have an identity that can suppress the scene, it is difficult to do things.
From this point of view, it must be imperative to promote him to be the Yin of Nanling Mansion, of course, Di Yi deliberately added the word "temporary generation" in front of Hua Wenzheng's Mansion Yin in case of the future, which can be regarded as leaving room for this.
Obviously, Changshi understood what Di Yi meant, and went down to work as soon as he gave up.
Nanling is the homeland of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and although it is now occupied by the Zhou army, there are still many hidden piles left by the Jin army.
In the past, the Zhou army was well guarded, and it was very troublesome for the Jin army to use the hidden pile to do things, but now the Zhou army and the Jin army are in a big battle, and the rear is being made by Huawen everywhere, and it is a mess, and the Zhou army's control over Nanling has greatly decreased.
Di Yi is now using the Nanling dark pile, and he doesn't dare to say more, so it is not a big problem to seal the appointment document and deliver a word to Hua Wenzheng.
In this way, it didn't take long for Hua Wenzheng to receive the appointment document and Di Yi's military order from the dark pile, and he was very excited and happy in his heart, and he was full of enthusiasm to summon the generals under his command.
After Hua Wenzheng and they occupied Qingyang County before, they did not move, not because they were afraid to use troops, but because they lacked intelligence, they didn't know the situation, and they didn't know what to do next, so they didn't dare to act rashly, but kept trying to contact Di Yi.
Now that they didn't contact Di Yi, Di Yi took the initiative to find them, not only gave them a battle order, but also praised them lavishly, and affirmed their loyalty and actions, which made the defeated soldiers feel warm in their hearts.
The imperial court did not forget them, and everyone was full of fighting spirit at once............
…………
Hua Wenzheng saw that the army was available, and immediately divided the troops into two roads, one way near Qingyang County, attacking the rear supply line of the Zhou army, Hua Wenzheng took another road, attacking Danglong Mountain, this mountain is the only place for the Zhou army to retreat from Nanling to Youzhou.
If Hua Wenzheng takes Danglong Mountain, then the Zhou army wants to retreat, except for the strong attack to recapture Danglong Mountain, the only way is to make a detour to Beiling Mansion.
You must know that it is now the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and there are only a few days left for the Nanling Zhou army's grain and grass.
If Ji Linbing withdraws his troops from Jiangjun Pass again, then the Nanling Zhou army that detours to Beiling is likely to meet the Jin army of Jiangjun Pass head-on, and then the Nanling Zhou army will be rested from both sides.
Ning Dewu would not fail to see this situation, so when he learned that Hua Wenzheng was leading troops to attack Danglong Mountain, he immediately divided his troops to stop it.
Don't look at Ning Dewu and Lu Ba's conspiracy to rob the army to grab food, it doesn't mean that he completely extinguished the intention of withdrawing the army, now the Zhou army is passive everywhere in Nanling, and it is difficult to guarantee that the matter of grabbing food will be successful, if it is frustrated, then the back road of Danglong Mountain will be cut off again, then he will become Di Yi's meal.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, Ning Dewu will not sit idly by and watch Hua Wen attack Danglong Mountain.
But it's a pity that he didn't want Hua Wen to succeed, but Di Yi wished that Hua could succeed, so when Di Yi saw Ning Dewu dividing his troops to prepare to rescue Danglong Mountain, he also divided a group of soldiers and horses to stumble to rescue Zhou Jun.
Unlike the disadvantage of the capital of the head of the capital in Guangqing, the strength of the Jin army in Quliang was quite sufficient, almost about 110,000
What's more important is that because of Yan Kui's brave play in the battle of Tuxian and Ping'an, the Zhou army in Nanling was greatly reduced, with less than 100,000 troops, and then leaving aside the defenders scattered throughout Nanling, Ning Dewu only had about 80,000 people in his hands.
Therefore, the rear was tight, and Ning Dewu, who was short of food and soldiers on the front line, was pressed to death by Di Yi, and could only watch Hua Wenzheng copy his own back road.
On the evening of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Hua Wenzheng took part of the Danglongling Ridge and completely cut off the back road of the Nanling Zhou army.
At the same time, Ning Dewu, who saw that the military rations were in an emergency, finally turned red and ordered his corporal to forcibly requisition grain and grass in Nanling counties.
The counties of Nanling revolted one after another, attacking the grain requisition troops sent by Ning Dewu, and Di Yi also took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack on Ning Dewu's main force, under the siege from many sides, Ning Dewu was defeated and was forced to withdraw from Nanling with the remaining 50,000 Zhou troops.
While personally leading people to pursue Ning Dewu, Di Yi also sent Qin Qi and Yan Kui, who had been promoted to move freely, together with Huawen Zhengbu, to jointly clear the rout of the Nanling Zhou army, and take back the city defenses of Nanling counties one by one, and clean up the lost territory.
……………
The second day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Liyang
The victory of the Jin army in the Battle of Nanling completely cut off the last hope of Ji Linbing, who had not been able to take the General Pass for a long time.
On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, Ji Linbing led his troops to retreat to Youzhou, and what was unexpected was that the Jin army of General Guan sat back and watched the Zhou army withdraw at this critical moment, and it was really puzzling.
Just when Di Yi, who had already chased Ning Dewu to Beiling, didn't understand why Peng Kuohai didn't move his troops as originally planned, Duanwang, who was at the General Pass, came to the General Pass, regardless of the fact that he was directing the war, and said that he would let him return to the General Pass.
Di Yi realized that something was wrong, and no longer continued to pursue Ning Dewu, but led his troops to General Pass, and sure enough, it was not beyond Di Yi's expectations.
Peng Kuohai had an accident............
