Chapter 252: Turmoil in Youzhou



The position of a general can be said to be a powerful one in the Han Dynasty, and those who can sit on the position of a general, or a general who bravely crowns the three armies or a wise man with unparalleled resourcefulness, as a general, do not need to charge into battle by himself, and can completely strategize.

Like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the past, these are the top generals of the Great Khan Dynasty, what heroes and heroes.

He Jin sat on the position of a general completely by nepotism, and he was quite proficient in the way of officialdom, but he would not lead troops to fight.

How could anyone come up and ask what strategy to use, Zhao Yi was speechless about this, "Well, I haven't fought with the Qiang soldiers, and I don't know Beigong Boyu's way of leading troops and marching formation, so I can't say what strategy to use." "Tactics change with the opponent, and only after fighting the enemy can a strong plan be made according to the characteristics of the enemy.

Although the general has already stated the characteristics of the actions of the Qiang cavalry. But these things were also heard by the general from the mouths of others and seen with his own eyes. Hearsay is not necessarily different from what we see with our own eyes, and we talk about the way of fighting without knowing anything about the Qiang tribe, isn't it just talk on paper? "In the Battle of Changping that year, Zhao Kuo, who was talking about the army on paper, was rash because of his underestimation of the Qin army, resulting in the annihilation of the 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State, and since then the situation of the Qin Dynasty's monopoly has been opened.

The battle with Beigong Boyu was not as important as the Battle of Changping, and it could not shake the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty for the time being, but it also involved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, so Zhao Yi could not be cautious.

He Jin's face turned red when Zhao Yi said, in front of a military genius like Zhao Yi, He Jin had no power to refute at all, but he was not angry, but praised Zhao Yi for being outspoken. Although Zhao Yi is resourceful, he doesn't understand the way of officialdom, how can anyone dare to confront his boss in person.

He Jin nodded secretly in his heart, this is fine, this shows that Zhao Yi is not so scheming, this kind of person may sometimes offend himself in words, but this is also much better than sticking a knife in his back.

"Bo is right, we can't just talk about it on paper and plunge the army into a place of no return." He Jin nodded approvingly, and then asked Zhao Yi: "Can Bolai convey the imperial court order to the officials and soldiers of Youzhou?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Well, the news has been spread for five days, and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou may arrive in the capital in ten days." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, let's wait for the Youzhou officials and soldiers to arrive, and then practice it for Bolai." He Jin gave up his hand to Zhao Yi slightly.

"Thank you, General." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, and he thanked Zhao Yi.

In the next few days, Zhao Yi's entertainment continued, as time slowly faded, not only the court officials, even Emperor Han Ling couldn't sit still, almost twenty days have passed since Zhao Yi's order, and the court has returned within a radius of three hundred miles, and there is no official army brigade marching.

This shows that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, who were supposed to arrive in the capital five days ago, were five days late!

"Zhao Aiqing, why hasn't the Youzhou army arrived yet?" Emperor Han Ling's tone was already a little cold, with a little anger.

Zhao Yi also looked angry: "Back to Your Majesty, it has been twenty days since the lowly order was conveyed and there has been no response from Youzhou, when they come, they will be punished for delaying the military plane!" ”

Hearing this, the ministers standing in the central court were all a little shocked, and secretly said that it was no wonder that Zhao Yi's officers and troops often won battles. They had long heard that Zhao Yi's officers and troops were strictly disciplined, but they didn't expect it to be so strict. Delaying the military plane is a crime of killing the head, but Zhao Yi's age is really ruthless.

Before the official army of Youzhou arrived, they could not go out to conquer Beigong Boyu, which made Emperor Han Ling quite annoyed, watching the Liangzhou battle reports come one after another, Emperor Han Ling was not only sad, but also quite helpless.

Emperor Ling of Han, who was not in a good mood, waved his hand to signal Zhang Rang to retreat from the court, and as soon as Zhang Rang said the words "retreat from the dynasty", he saw a soldier from the court hurrying over.

"Holy Lord, the herald of Youzhou is waiting outside the palace, saying that there is something important to tell the emperor."

The important thing? A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the ministers of the court, Youzhou, which was shocked by the destruction of the Qiang Canal Department, should be as calm as water, what kind of major events will happen?

Emperor Han Ling's eyebrows moved: "Hurry up!" ”

I saw a soldier dressed in the military uniform of Youzhou Mansion walking in with a panicked face, and bowed to Emperor Han Ling, and did not know the etiquette of the imperial court, but quickly explained the affairs of Youzhou: "Your Majesty, the 80,000 soldiers of our department have just walked out of the boundary of Youzhou, and the surrounding Yi forces have begun to invade Youzhou. General Gao Shun, the governor of Zhuo County, and General Tai Shici, the commander of Dai County, are leading soldiers and horses to fight one after another. ”

No one in the court thought that this kind of thing would happen when the soldiers and horses in Youzhou moved. Zhao Yi, who was a pastor in Youzhou, was very anxious, and hurriedly asked the soldiers: "What is the situation in Youzhou now?" ”

"In the battle with Qiangqu, although our army won a complete victory, it also suffered heavy losses, and the officers and troops that had just been replenished had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and they were crushed at the touch of the enemy cavalry." When he said this, the soldier paused, looked at Zhao Yi, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"And what other evils will be told together." Zhao Yi's eyes were like electricity, and he asked the soldier.

"When Yang Xiu, the county guard of Daijun, led his troops to resist the Wuhuan soldiers, he was shot in the chest by an arrow from an enemy archer and was seriously wounded."

When Zhao Yi heard this, a solemn look flashed in his eyes. Zhao Zhong on the jade step screamed in shock, although Yang Xiu was not angry, but he was also his brother-in-law. Zhao Zhong has high hopes for Yang Xiuke.

In Zhao Zhong's opinion, Yang Xiu is cowardly, but this has nothing to do with reusing Yang Xiu, as long as Yang Xiu uses people properly, he can completely let the general who does not want to die help him kill all the strong enemies.

Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is one of the best, Liu Bang is a gangster, and the reason why he can become a hegemon is completely dependent on the assistance of Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin.

But now that he heard the news that Yang Xiu was seriously injured and was in danger, how could he not make Zhao Zhong feel sad, didn't Yang Xiu turn around and run away when he saw the enemy, why did he lead his troops to the expedition this time.

How good it is for you to hide behind, but you like to be the first bird, Zhao Zhong sighed, and then his eyes were filled with raging anger: "Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to go to the north and exterminate the Wuhuan tribe!" ”

There is no precedent for eunuchs to be in charge of soldiers and horses, He Jin and other ministers have objected, and He Jin spoke even more bluntly: "Zhao Changshou has never been out of the palace gate for half a step, he doesn't know the situation in Youzhou, and he has never commanded the army. ”

When he said this, He Jin's eyes turned and added: "And the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if Zhao Changshi has any accident on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a loss for the imperial court?" ”

He Jin's words reached the heart of Emperor Han Ling, Emperor Han Ling appeased Zhao Zhong, and then asked the hundred officials in the court: "Ladies and gentlemen, who can pacify the rebellion in Youzhou?" ”

As soon as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said this, the ministers of the court all set their eyes on Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi is indeed the most suitable candidate, as the pastor of Youzhou, Zhao Yi knows the situation in Youzhou well, and Zhao Yi has led Youzhou soldiers and horses to repel strong enemies many times, and he is very prestigious in the official army. Zhao Yi's resourcefulness and the courage and fortitude of the Youzhou officials and troops are really a perfect combination, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Wuhuan soldiers of Qiu Li's residence.

"Minister, recommend Zhao Yi." As a minister names his favorite candidate. The shouts of recommending Zhao Yi were like surging rivers, surging towards the emperor endlessly.

Zhao Yi touched his nose, he didn't expect that he would be so popular with hundreds of officials in the court, and it was similar to the scene when he chose to conquer Beigong Boyu some time ago, and it was a one-sided situation.

Emperor Han Ling was a little embarrassed, he had already sent Zhao Yi to conquer Beigong Boyu, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Youzhou and Liangzhou are both places of the imperial court, and it can really be said that the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, so that Emperor Han Ling does not know how to choose.

He Jin arched his hand and said: "Xiliang is guarded by Han Sui and General Ma Teng, coupled with a steady supply of the imperial court, even if it can't defeat Beigong Boyu, there should be no problem in holding on." Now that the situation in Youzhou is critical, please give your Majesty an order to resolve the crisis in Youzhou first. ”

Zhao Zhong also agreed with He Jin's point of view and asked Emperor Han Ling to solve the Youzhou matter first.

Emperor Ling of Han thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to send Zhao Yi back to deal with the affairs of Youzhou, and then talk about the matter of Beigong Boyu after Youzhou was stable.

Zhao Yi had no intention of fighting with Beigong Boyu, and wrote a letter to Youzhou asking Cheng Yin if he could do something to keep him in Youzhou.

originally thought that Cheng Yin would co-star in a play with Nanlou and create a little turmoil, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Cheng Yin couldn't plan this kind of thing, so as soon as Zhao Yi left the court, he went straight to Youzhou, and he didn't have time to go home to say goodbye to his mother.

On the way, Zhao Yi asked the soldiers about the details of Youzhou now. Qiu Liju and Dongfang Yi Fuyu united to form a 50,000 coalition army, taking advantage of Youzhou's new victory to take advantage of the lack of precautions, resulting in the displacement of more than 100,000 people. General Gao Shun and the cavalry of Batu's department resisted with all their might to keep them out of Zhuo County, and at present, all the departments of the official army are going to Zhuo County for reinforcements.

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes, he wanted to slowly collapse Qiu Liju from the inside, but he didn't expect Qiu Liju to dare to attack Youzhou at this time.

Zhao Yi changed horses without changing people, ran around day and night for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at the Zhuojun Mansion in the early morning of the fourth day.

Seeing Zhao Yi returning, Tai Shici and the others in the palace showed joy on their faces, they were worried about how to defeat Qiu Li's residence just now, and now they saw Zhao Yi's worries disappear suddenly. Zhao Yi's successive victories against the enemy have established an undefeated image in the hearts of Tai Shici and others, and any problem will be solved as long as it is in the hands of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi entered the hall with a big stab and took in everyone's faces: "What is the current situation in Qiu Li's residence?" ”

Gao Shun told the truth about the situation of Qiu Li's residence, but fortunately, the soldiers found it in time and blocked Qiu Li's residence from Zhuo County, otherwise Qiu Liju would have driven straight from Zhuo County, and the foundation of Youzhou would be completely destroyed at that time.

Gao Shun pointed to several surrounding counties on the map: "Qiu Li's residence department has been surrounded by our officers and soldiers around these counties, but Qiu Li's residence department is flexible and flexible, and gave up attacking the county seat, specializing in plundering villages, although our officers and troops are numerous, but they are not as flexible as Qiu Li's residence horses, if you send a small team of cavalry, you will be eaten by them, this is the most dealing place." ”
