Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suddenly

Under the city of Xiangcheng, countless gentry knelt in front of the city gate to welcome Wang Qiaonian.

After Fu Zonglong's death, Wang Qiaonian took over as the governor of the three sides, he gathered the defeated troops in Shaanxi, regrouped, and trained 30,000 people, originally wanted to rectify one or two, but there was an impatient emperor above, so he could only send troops in a hurry.

Wang Qiaonian is the second year of the Apocalypse, when he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was nearly thirty years old, and this year he was nearly sixty, and he was already gray-haired, however, he felt that he had the talent of a soldier, as soon as he came out of Tongguan, the so-called soldier was fast, so that the soldiers hurried, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he heard that Chuang, Cao's two battalions, were fighting with Zuo Liangyu, and immediately decided to attack Zuo Liangyu before and after, and conquered the thief army in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he left 20,000 foot soldiers in Luoyang, led more than 10,000 cavalry, and rushed straight to Xiangcheng.

With the help of the gentry of Xiangcheng, he went down to Xiangcheng in one fell swoop.

He also knew, what was the virtue of the soldiers in these years? Therefore, he did not allow the soldiers to enter the city, but divided the soldiers into four departments, namely He Renlong, Niu Chenghu, Zheng Jiadong, and the pro-army personally in charge of Wang Qiaonian.

It was also he who brought a few of his own soldiers into the city and feasted the gentry in the city.

When the gentry in the city saw Wang Qiao coming at the city gate, they immediately threw themselves to the ground one by one, cried loudly, and said: "See the light of day again, may my old parents wait for me to go to the thief." ”

Wang Qiaonian helped these gentry up and said: "The army of Guanzhong will arrive soon, join forces with Zuo Shuai, and be like a powder thief." ”

Wang Qiaonian sat down in the county government of Xiangxian County, and then listened to these gentry talk about the details of the righteous army.

After he learned the details of the rebel army, he immediately summoned the three generals into the city and ordered: "Now, the thieves are under the fortified city, it is the time for me to work hard, tomorrow morning, we will set off, go straight to the city of Yuncheng, and cooperate with Zuo Shuai, and we will definitely be able to break the thieves." ”

"My lord, by all means." He Renlong was shocked and said: "The last general waited for September to return to the pass from Xiangcheng, the morale has not yet recovered, and the first month of the month went out of the Tongguan again, the march for more than ten days, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, the food and salary were insufficient, and the morale was weak, and the two battalions of Cao were the time of the success. Morale is high, and now it is impossible to compete. When repairing in Xiangcheng for a day or two, it is not too late to march again. ”

"Your Excellency." Niu Chenghu said: "The non-last general refused to receive the order, it was the soldiers who were really bitter, the half-moon march, the food and clothing were not continued, the early spring was still cold, and they were not allowed to enter the city, and the soldiers had complaints." ”

Zheng Jiadong is inferior to the two generals in terms of qualifications, but he also understands that the morale of this army has reached such an unbearable point, he didn't dare not come out to speak, and said: "Please be enlightened." ”

Wang Qiaonian helped the three of them up one by one and said: "I don't know that the soldiers are working hard, and I have already ordered to go down, and Xiangcheng will give food to reward the whole army." The generals will receive food when they go out of the city

It's just that the current situation is full of crises, so I have to hurry up and not stay for a day. ”

"The generals also know that this city was first occupied by thieves, and then broken by Zuo Shuai, so that the city wall must be dilapidated, and the thieves surrounded it with tens of thousands of troops. Zuo Shuai can hold out for a few days, and once Zuo Shuai is defeated, with our mere army, he can withstand the army of Cao Xinsheng. Therefore, we must not stay for a moment, and early tomorrow morning, the army will go straight to the city of Yuncheng, and the solution is to break through Cao. ”

"What if I win?" He Renlong's words turned around in his mouth a few times, but he still didn't say it in the end. After walking out of the county office, He Renlong stomped his feet heavily, turned over and left the city to go to the barracks.

And at this moment, there was also a panic in the camp under Yuncheng City.

"Coming so fast?" Li Zicheng said.

Regardless of whether Wang Qiaonian was reckless or fast, he did catch Li Zicheng off guard. At this moment, the camp and Cao Ying were in the siege of Yuncheng, and they were rushing to attack. wants to annihilate Zuo Liangyu in one fell swoop. But Zuo Liangyu is Zuo Liangyu, although Baishahe lost the first battle, but there are at least twenty or thirty thousand soldiers in his hands, and there is Yuncheng City as a barrier, with the current strength of Chuang Ying and Cao Ying, it is not an easy thing to attack.

Not only is it not easy, Li Zicheng also has to guard against Zuo Liangyu's troops going out of the city to sneak attack.

After all, Zuo Liangyu is not without the strength to fight.

"The Great General must withdraw his troops immediately." Liu Zongmin said: "Otherwise, it will be difficult to be cooperated by Wang Qiaonian." ”

One hundred and twenty miles, and the Qin army is a horse team, if you make up your mind, it will only be a day's journey.

Li Zicheng was unwilling, he finally caught Zuo Liangyu, a big fish, and let Zuo Liangyu leave like this? You need to know that it is easy to set up a tiger, but it is difficult to bind a tiger? Zuo Liangyu is a big tiger, he can't kill it today, and he will be the scourge of the righteous army in the future. However, the war is urgent, and Li Zicheng weighed it clearly.

Zuo Liangyu has a strong city to rely on, within one day, no, within ten days and eight days, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack, and Wang Qiaonian's troops are all cavalry, and the number is tens of thousands, if you want to fight in the field, it is not very easy to annihilate, but if you want to defeat, it is not difficult. Li Zicheng wants to get rid of this situation of internal and external attacks, and the best way is to pinch Wang Qiaonian's soft persimmon.

"Okay." Li Zicheng said: "Withdraw the troops tomorrow." ”

After Li Zicheng made up his mind, he immediately shifted his thoughts to how to withdraw the army, he turned his head and said to Luo Rucai: "However, when withdrawing the army, you need to be cautious, in case Zuo Liangyu protrudes from the city and catches us off guard, it will not be good, so this withdrawal is better to slow down than be impatient." It's just that Wang Qiaonian may not give us time, I want to ask Brother Luo to send a virtuous son-in-law to Xiangcheng to make a forward stop for my righteous army, and there is nothing else to do

, just contain Wang Qiaonian. ”

"It only takes one day, just one day, and the army can withdraw from the city of Yuncheng."

Withdrawing troops has always been a difficult act, especially before withdrawing troops, if you are not careful, you will be defeated. It is recorded in history, such as the Battle of Weishui, which was not so much that the Beifu soldiers defeated the Former Qin army, but that the Former Qin army was poorly organized when it retreated and collapsed on its own.

Therefore, when withdrawing troops, it is impossible to be too careful.

Luo Rucai remembered Zhang Xuan's performance in Linying Chengnan that day, if there was no previous performance, Luo Rucai would never be willing to let Zhang Xuan perform such a dangerous mission, but Linying Chengnan's performance made Luo Rucai know a little, Zhang Xuan is not only a literati, but also a general.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "I'll send a letter to my son-in-law and ask him to set off immediately, but when I retreat, my Cao Ying will be the vanguard." ”

Luo Rucai is still concerned about his son-in-law, and when he retreats, Cao Ying takes the first step, and Zhang Xuan can save him if there is one.

"Okay." Li Zicheng agreed.

So, the herald ran from the camp to Linying City overnight, and by the time Zhang Xuan received the order, it was already the fifth watch. Zhang Xuan took a deep breath of the cool air of the early morning and ordered: "Beat the drum, the whole army gathers." ”

"Knock knock." The drums sounded violently, and all the soldiers ran out of their camps, and after the three drums, the whole army, more than 2,000 people, stood near the bell and drum tower in front of the county office.

This is all the horses that Zhang Xuan can bring out in his hands now.

Before Zhang Xuan went to war, there were 3,000 regular soldiers, plus nearly 5,000 people from the Wu brothers, but now, more than 1,000 were killed in battle, more than 1,000 were injured, and some old and weak were eliminated, and Zhang Xuan was placed in Linying as a farmer. But although there are only more than 2,000 people, the feeling given to Zhang Xuan is completely different from before.

There is a sense of iron.

Sure enough, no matter how you train, it's better to go to the battlefield and fight a few battles.

And Zhang Xuan looked at the officers in front of him, led by Wang Jincai, followed by Luo Dai, Wu Zilan again, and then Huang Xu, Zhou Fuchen was also taken by Zhang Xuan as a cronie, Cao Zongyu and Deng He are still cultivating in bed, and they can't fight.

Zhang Xuan suddenly had a feeling of excitement.

A sense of excitement in the blood, it seems that men have dreams of a great general. And at this moment, Zhang Xuan is walking on this road.

"Xiangcheng was captured by the officers and soldiers, and the general ordered us to rush to help. and you can go. After Zhang Xuan announced the order, he didn't say much. Immediately let the soldiers push the wagon, out of the west gate, in the eyes of the people, to the west.
