Chapter 427 Entering Zitong and Encountering Talents
After Yan Yan heard what Huang Quan said, he sighed helplessly, and then said: "Alas, Gongheng, you should also know that I, the Ba County, am too guarded, and I can't easily move troops!" ”
Although Yan Yan is the Taishou of Ba County, and Huang Quan is only a Langzhong County Prince, Yan Yan did put Huang Quan in a position to talk to him. He knows very well that although Huang Quan is not a military general, his ability is not small, and his official position may be above him in the future.
Huang Quan shook his head slowly and said, "Taishou, now it's a matter of urgency, if you don't intercept Zhao Yun, then we will have to watch him lead his troops into Guanghan!" ”
Yan Yanxin said, how can he not know these things, but without the order of his lord, he can't break the rules. The punishment for oneself is small, but if others follow suit in the future, then one's own sin will be great, and this is not causing trouble to the lord.
Huang Quan looked at it, to say that Yan Yan is not an inflexible person, but he still has some concerns.
"Taishou, there is not much time left, if you really want to help the lord, there is a way to do it now!"
"Oh? Please speak! ”
"No! The way to do it is to send a letter to Chengdu on the one hand, and then move troops to stop the enemy! ”
Yan Yan thought that Huang Quan could have any good way, but this was still not very good. Huang Quan looked at it, and then asked, "Quan dares to ask Taishou, is it important for Yizhou to be stable?" ”
Yan Yanxin said, do you still need to ask? So he said, "Nature matters! ”
Without hesitation, Yan Yan replied. Huang Quan clapped his hands, "That's right, since Taishou also thinks that the stability of Yizhou is so important, why is he unwilling to send troops to stop the enemy?" Could it be that Taishou is afraid of him, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong? Or is it that he is afraid of Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army? ”
Yan Yan laughed when he heard this, and said to Huang Quan: "Gongheng." You don't have to provoke me so much. I don't want to use troops today, but I think about the lord, but now that Yizhou is in an eventful autumn, if I don't send troops again, it will be because I can't live with the old lord's kindness to me! Don't worry, just according to your words, I will write a letter immediately and send someone to the Chengdu Lord's office. And here, I will immediately set off to intercept Zhao Yun! Do you think so? ”
Huang Quan smiled slightly, "Too wise and decisive." So why not be afraid of him, Ma Mengqi, Zhao Zilong and others! ”
Yan Yan said: "I'm afraid that some people will say that I am afraid of them!" ”
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent at this time.
After Yan Yan finished speaking, he immediately wrote a letter, and then sent someone to Chengdu. Of course. He was a military general, so naturally there were not as many words in the letter as a scribe. Just a few simple words. That is to say, I did not get the order of the lord today, so I sent troops to intercept Zhao Yun without authorization, and asked the lord to punish him without hesitation. The main thing is these few sentences, Yan Yan's meaning, he knows that his lord understands it after reading it. Although he also knew that he would bring some trouble to himself at this time, no matter how big the trouble was, it was not as important as the stability of Yizhou. If Yizhou is really lost. So what else are you talking about?
And Yan Yan is indeed not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible, but sometimes he, as a county guard, is said to be a military general, but in fact, there are a lot of things to consider. So you have to weigh it up. And there are actually a lot of people staring at him, and he knows all of them. It is estimated that this time someone should have an opinion again, and then he will have to say himself in front of his lord. But these are not important, the important thing is that he must hurry up and lead the troops to intercept Zhao Yun, it is better to be able to repel them in one fell swoop, of course, he must take Huang Quan with him. He admires Huang Quan very much, Huang Quan's martial arts are not as good as his own, but his mind and strategy are not as good as others.
Yan Yan's personality is indeed resolute, when he handed over all the affairs of Ba County to the county Cheng, only one day later, he led his troops from Jiangzhou to intercept Zhao Yun. Of course, he took Huang Quan with him, and Huang Quan naturally did not refuse. And Yan Yan almost took away all the guards in Jiangzhou, a total of 30,000 people. Although his men and horses are indeed slightly insufficient compared to the combat power of the regular army of the Yizhou Army, after all, they are soldiers trained by Yan Yan himself, so their combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary city guards.
At this time, Huang Quan was relieved, because he was leading his troops with Yan Yan to the junction of Ba County and Guanghan County, and he believed that he would be able to wait for or meet Zhao Yun there, and he was confident. And he finally persuaded Yan Yan to send troops to block the enemy, believing that in this way, at least Zhao Yun's army would not be too smooth.
In fact, Huang Quan didn't expect to say that he would definitely be able to defeat and repel Zhao Yun, but Yan Yan would definitely be able to stop Zhao Yun for a while, and this is for sure-
Zitong, after the first tentative attack, Ma Chao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and at this time, everyone gathered together in the big tent of the Chinese army. It's still the old rule of the Liangzhou Army, everyone talks about the war together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although Zitong City is a strong city with high walls, it is not impenetrable. In comparison, I think it's much easier to break than Jia Mengguan! What do you think? ”
Ma Chao said that he wanted to use words to inspire everyone. Although Zitong is indeed a big city, it is true that it is not comparable to Jiamengguan. Don't look at the guards or so, there are about 10,000 guards, but Ma Chao hasn't taken them into account yet. In his opinion, Zitong is not as powerful as Jia Mengguan, and he is not a powerful character, so it is just a matter of time before the city is broken.
Guo Jia said with a smile at this time, "If you want to say that the lord is still smart, he dragged Gao Pei's entire 20,000 Yizhou troops on the southwest bank of Zitong Water, but it made our army a lot less resistance!" ”
Everyone nodded, but Ma Chao smiled, in fact, this can't be said to be that he dragged him Gao Pei, but that he Gao Pei asked for it himself, and it was he who dragged him down. And Ma Chao of course knows the way, these things Guo Jia Jia said that it is impossible for them not to know the way, but Guo Jia said this, this is blatantly patting himself on the back. Of course, Ma Chao won't say much about this, at least for the time being, Gao Pei is still on the southwest bank of Zitong Water. And it's still standing still, which is not bad at all-
To say that Gao Pei at this time, now he is very conflicted in his heart. Yes, exactly. Because he really wanted to destroy Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army under Zitong City, but he also knew that it was obviously impossible, even if he repelled them, he had no way at this time. And it's not that he didn't think about leaving with his troops, but where else could he go if he left, it would definitely be impossible to retreat to Zitong, because in that case. They have to cross the Zitong River again, and then they have to risk being attacked by Ma Chao.
So in the end, there was only one way to retreat to Fu County, but Gao Pei felt that he couldn't retreat to Fu County, or at least not for the time being. And now he should take 20,000 men and horses to camp on the southwest bank of Zitong River, and wait until his Liangzhou army of Ma Mengqi occupies Zitong. At that time, he can lead his troops to retreat.
At this time, Gao Pei didn't realize that he actually thought that Ma Chao's Liangzhou army would win. And it occupies Zitong. He retreated to Fuzhou County. In fact, this does have a great meaning of "raising the anger of others and destroying one's own prestige". It is estimated that if Liu Zhang knew that Gao Pei thought like this, he might regret it, and he would regret letting Gao Pei lead troops to support. After all, Yizhou is not without military generals, and he Gao Pei definitely belongs to the generals who are behind, but Liu Zhang let him come. Maybe that's right. "Feng Shui takes turns", "ten years in the east of the river, ten years in the west of the river", maybe that's it.
Indeed, Gao Pei is lucky. Equally unfortunate. Luckily, what he had come up with was right away, and unfortunately, it was actually that.
Just two days later, the Liangzhou army broke through Zitong, and it was said that Wu'an State had made a great contribution. Just because after he landed on the top of the city, the most rearly killed the defenders of Zitong with his own hands, so the guards of the most reluctant Zitong had no choice but to surrender. The so-called "snake can't do without a head", you don't expect these guards to be how they can be, at least once the guards die, they basically have no intention of fighting again. Therefore, the Liangzhou army picked up a big bargain, and Wu Anguo's knife directly cut out the victory.
And Zitong lost it too quickly, so that Gao Pei was not mentally prepared. That's really the case, although he also thought in his heart that Zitong would definitely lose after the worst comeback, but who would have thought that it had only been more than three days, and then he would lose it all at once? Gao Pei almost thought he was dreaming, but he pinched himself several times, and it really hurt, so he believed it. After knowing the exact news, Gao Pei hurriedly retreated with his 20,000 horses, of course, as he thought before, retreating to Fuxian. Because after Ma Chao occupied Zitong at this time, he could directly enter Fu County from Zitong, so if he didn't bring troops to garrison quickly, then Fu County would have to be lost immediately.
Gao Peixin said that he has been too much in the past two years, when will it really be time to operate. I thought that this time my lord asked him to bring troops to support, and this is his own time, but now it seems that it is not like that at all. After the last, he could only lead the troops to Fu County helplessly, and Ma Chao led the troops into Zitong-
At this time, Ma Chao was leading troops into Zitong, and there were also people from Zitong watching from both sides. How to say it, although the people of Yizhou are a little xenophobic, they are not so hostile to Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army. Whether it is Ma Chao or the Liangzhou Army, there is no bad reputation, that is, Ma Chao once slaughtered Dangqiang, but after all, it is a foreign race, and the people do not have much compassion for the foreign race. Besides, they are still Qiang people, and the people of Yizhou are even more tired of them, so for the people, in fact, who will be the governor of this state and whose rule Yizhou will be, at least at this time, it does not matter to them.
As long as the people's own interests are not harmed, they will not say anything or do anything. However, the war is always the most boring for the people, and Yizhou has been relatively peaceful before, under Liu Yan's governance, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment over the years, so as soon as Ma Chao's Liangzhou army entered the city, although the people did not object to making trouble, it would not be a welcome or anything like that.
Ma Chao is walking in the front, there are people on the left and right, he is in the middle, and the Liangzhou army is followed behind. Their speed is not fast, it can be said that it is very slow, and they are afraid that if the war horse is fast, it is easy to have an accident, so the horse supernatural has already slowed them down.
But at this time, a person appeared not far from Ma Chao. Ma Chaoxin said, there are still people who dare to go their own way? He was indeed interested, but if you look closely, you are still just a teenager, or is it more accurate to be a child?
Ma Chao took the white lion, and then stretched out his right hand to Lu Yi, ordering the army to stop advancing, and the Liangzhou army really stopped from Ma Chao and them.
Ma Chao smiled at the young man in front of him: "Who is here?" Why is it in the way? ”
The young man said, "Guanghan Peng Yi! Greetings! ”
Ma Chao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in his heart Guanghan Peng Yi? I've really heard of this name, and it seems that he is still a talent in Shu! (To be continued......)
