Chapter 172
Yeluxiu led his army to rescue Yijin Pass, which was the main route from Cheongju north to Nanjing. Such a critical point, since Xiao Tianyou speculated that it was very likely to be attacked by the Zhou army, Yelu Xiu was not in a hurry. And because Yelu Xiu and Wang Hong are not in harmony, it cannot be said that the two are not in harmony. Specifically, it is quite a lot of Khitan people who can't trust the Han generals in the sixteen states of Yanyun, in this case, it is impossible for Yeluxiu to tell Wang Hong: "Brother, our back road may have been copied by the enemy, I will hurry to the rescue now, you can watch the door at home!" He was afraid that after Wang Hong heard this, he would have two hearts. If the distrust of Wang Hong is the first thing that Yelu Xiu did wrong.
When Yeluxiu led the Qianhua army to rescue Yijin Pass, there was another thing he did wrong. Since they knew that the environment they were in was dangerous, the top brass of the Qianhua Army basically lost hope of returning to Cheongju in the short term. As a result, the bad habit of the Khitans to fight the grass valley appeared again, and a small number of troops began to rob again, and a large number of troops robbed the people, and when it reached the ears of Yeluxiu, this bad influence has expanded. This is tantamount to directly hinting to Wang Hong: Take care, buddy, I'll go first.
Yeluxiu led the Qianhua army out of the north gate of Qingzhou, and ran for more than 40 miles in one go. was caught up by Wang Hong's cavalry. Hearing what Wang Hong's messenger said, Yeluxiu was furious, what do you mean, you still beat Lao Tzu's little report! Yelu Xiu said angrily: "Doesn't Wang Hong have thousands of troops under him, how can he not even deal with a few people!" ”
The person who sent the letter was not hasty, and replied directly: "Return to the handsome." Most of the sergeants under my general's command were from Cheongju, and among the people who suffered, there were also their family members. But these people have made it difficult for my generals to deal with them. Moreover, there may be spies of the Zhou State among the people of this riot who are fanning the flames. ”
"In that case, why didn't Wang Hong directly send troops and kill the people!" The "triangular eye" standing behind Yeluxiu said.
The person who sent the letter was furious, damn, most of our army are Cheongju natives, who doesn't have any relatives and friends, and really broke bones and tendons! If Wang Dashuai really did this, it would be strange if the Qingzhou army didn't rebel immediately! He immediately replied: "Great commander, the people can't be killed, if you kill the people, then... Then Cheongju won't be in a fight! ”
"Hmph, since the people can't be killed, what will we do in Qingzhou?" The black-faced monster on the side, Yelu, said with a gloomy face. This person was originally dark, and coupled with his unswerving complexion, his tall figure was almost like a giant spirit god.
Yelu and the "triangular eye" are both demon kings in the Qianhua army, and they can be described in four words: killing people like hemp, in the words often said: their hands are stained with the blood of the Han people. And this Yelu is more shrewd than the "triangular eye", and he is simply an upgraded version of the demon king of the mixed world.
Seeing that this black-faced monster had a fierce look in his eyes, his face was not good. The messenger was shocked, and his tongue trembled a little, and said, "I... I... The people of Cheongju are... I'm afraid... Qianhua army, as long as Qianhua army... Entering the city, they naturally didn't dare to make any more changes! ”
"Oh? Hahaha! "Triangle Eyes" laughed, extremely proud.
Jerusius had been watching from the sidelines, and he had watched the messenger's every move. Looking back at the thick black smoke rising from the direction of Qingzhou City in the south, Yeluxiu kept turning his thoughts in his heart: to return to the army, or not to return? To be sure, Jerucius was suspicious of the messenger, but this suspicion was quickly dispelled by him. The stammering performance of the messenger just proves that the people of Cheongju are afraid of the Qianhua army. Although the two gangs were not in harmony, Yeluxiu did not feel that Wang Hong must be going to rebel, and he doubted in his heart whether Wang Hong wanted to put the responsibility for losing Qingzhou City on himself, and then took the opportunity to find such an excuse.
Cheongju City can be lost, but it can't be lost like this, and if you walk on the front foot, you will lose the back foot of Cheongju City. Where did this matter stab Xiao Siwen, who is responsible for the loss of Qingzhou? I'm afraid that a large part of it will fall on my head.
Just as Zhang Cheng guessed, Yeluxiu was extremely conflicted in his heart. Go back, in case the Yijin Pass is lost, then the reinforcements will be gone, once the Zhou army defeats the Yijin Pass, it will definitely attack the Waqiao Pass and the Sikou Pass, these three passes are lost, Qingzhou, Yingzhou, and Mozhou can no longer wait for the Khitan reinforcements, unless the Khitan defeats the main force of the Zhou army and recaptures the three passes. But he couldn't help but return to the army.
Contradictory. Yeluxiu was extremely distressed in his heart, raised his eyes and looked around, and happened to see Xiao Tianyou, so he asked, "Tianyou, do you think I should return to Qingzhou?" ”
Xiao Tianyou didn't have as many scruples as Yeluxiu, and when he opened his mouth, he said: "Is it useful to return to Qingzhou?" ”
The messenger said, "Yes, of course." If you don't go back, my general is really hard to ride. ”
Yeluxiu groaned, the meaning of Xiao Tianyou's words was obviously not that he could not calm the current turmoil in Qingzhou, but whether he could hold Qingzhou City after returning to Qingzhou. If you can't hold Cheongju City, why go back? Yeluxiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, he stared at the person who sent the letter, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly rose.
But the messenger didn't know that he was in a crisis, but said hurriedly: "If you don't go back, our general can only... I can only give in for the time being. This... This Cheongju can't be defended. ”
The fierce light in Jeruxiu's eyes faded at once. The words of the messenger did not choose to speak, and it just hit the door of Yeluxiu's life, if this Wang Hong went to Nanjing to shout everywhere, he... I'm passive. The current absolute crisis has made Yeluxiu's mind much clearer than usual, and he can even imagine that if the Zhou army went north, even if Wang Hong lost Qingzhou, but in order to avoid the defection of the Han generals, Xiao Siwen, who stayed in Nanjing, would let Wang Hong go, but... Will Siu Si Wen let himself go? Even if he adopted his son's idea.
Yeluxiu's eyes rolled, and he turned his head and said, "Yeluxiu! ”
"The last general!" The black-faced monster Yelu replied in disgust.
"You take two thousand men and horses, and rush back to Cheongju! Well, take over the defense of Cheongju and control the people of Cheongju! At the last minute, Jerucius finally made a decision. It's a compromise idea, but it's clearly not a good idea. Xiao Tianyou's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't have much. After all, marching and fighting still have to listen to the orders of the commander.
Yelu clenched his fists on the horse and said, "The last general will obey the order!" Of course, Yelu knew that after he went back, he might be surrounded by the Zhou army, but the military order was like a mountain, and he could only obey it.
Yelu turned his horse's head and galloped backwards for a while, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Order the rear team to turn around and follow me!" ”
The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and Yelu turned around and went straight to Qingzhou City with his 2ooo men. Soon Qingzhou City came into view, the north gate of Qingzhou was opened, and there were several sergeants with swords and halberds standing on the head of the city, and above the city gate, the bean-sized "king" flag fluttered in the wind. Behind the flag, thick smoke billowed in the air, and there were faint shouts and cries in the city.
"Herald! Rioters kill! Resist kill! Arson-saboteur kill! Jerod said on his horse. Dealing with the common people, Yelu has always been reluctant to bother with anything, and simply "kill" is enough. After so many years on the killing field, Yelu has seen "life and death" very thoroughly, if the main part of the "thorn" would have fled south a long time ago, or he would have been killed by the Khitans, and the rest were "Shunmin", and the easiest way to deal with "Shunmin" was violence.
"Obey!" The crowd replied softly. This answer to the morale-boosting tactics commonly used on the battlefield is the same as the slogans that will be shouted every ten minutes in the specialty stores of later generations. However, in the Khitan army, there is another role: deterrence! There are few Khitan people and many Han people. But the Han people don't shout together when they are idle and have nothing to do, and the Khitan people shout twice together, which is really a sonic shock, which makes people feel that there are a lot of people at first glance.
This mile is here in the blink of an eye. Holding the reins in his left hand and holding a broadsword in his right hand, Yelu broke into Cheongju City with one horse. Originally, I thought that the city should be very chaotic, but as soon as I entered the city, the north gate was clean, and there was not even a soldier.
Yelu turned his head to look at the city tower, and when he saw several sergeants on it, he said loudly: "Listen, the people in the city, Yelu has returned, where are the rebels?" ”
The sergeant above hurriedly replied: "General Huiyu, in Xicheng!" ”
"Let's go! Go to the West Side! Yelu turned his big knife and slapped the war horse's ass fiercely, and the war horse neighed like an arrow from the string and galloped towards Xicheng.
Yelu is heading towards Xicheng, he is in a hurry now, it will be noon this day, he must quickly calm down the chaotic people, and then summon Wang Hong to arrange the defense of Qingzhou City. But when he had been walking for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of war drums behind him, followed by shouts and shouts, and in the midst of this chaotic sound, he heard a very familiar sound, which he had often heard since childhood, "Whoosh... Sou... Sound. He immediately judged: a rain of arrows!
In ancient times, this strong bow and crossbow belonged to weapons of mass destruction and was forbidden among the people. Yelu was slightly stunned in his heart, how could this chaotic people have bows and arrows? And that's all.
Before this thought flashed through his mind, he heard the soldiers around him and said loudly: "The general is not good, the Qingzhou army has rebelled!" ”
In the midst of the sound of war drums, several stumbling horses suddenly appeared from both sides of the street opposite, and the sergeants of the Cheongju Army armed with strong bows flashed from the roofs and attics of the wineshops, teahouses, shops, and houses on both sides. And among them, there is a general, wearing bronze armor and holding a silver spear in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yelu is the place where you died in Qingzhou City today!" ”
