Chapter 510: Fleeting
When the British Gong Zhang Fu led hundreds of horses to Xinhua County, it was already dawn. At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the mist of early winter shrouded the hills and rivers, and the sky and the earth were white and white.
Zhang Fu rushed into the rebel camp and looked back on the mess. Fence stakes, wood left over from tents, discarded in a mess on the camp, and overturned stone stoves, filled with green smoke, and the embers of charcoal were smoking, and they were still not burning.
It's just that there's no one here!
The adjutant general of the Chinese army, Xin Anbo Xu Heng, then rushed over and watched the situation of the enemy camp with Zhang Fu. Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became very eerie. The young Xu Heng's face was very ugly, and he had been carefully watching Zhang Fu's reaction.
Zhang Fu's face turned pale, and instead revealed a sickly red. He suddenly turned his upper body on horseback and looked at Xu Heng; Xu Heng happened to be observing Zhang Fu, and the two looked at each other.
Xu Heng said embarrassedly: "At the end of yesterday, the general has received a military order from the marshal, and according to the order, the Chinese army will be moved to the west bank of the river. coincided with the advance of the rebels, and the last general had few soldiers, but he did not dare to take half a step back! I had to set up camp on the spot. It was getting late, and the rebels were encamped miles away, and the last general thought that the rebels would attack this morning......"
Judging from military law, Xu Heng was not much at fault, he did not disobey the order and did not retreat. But what made Zhang Fu angry was that Xu Heng arrived in Xinhua County at least two days before the rebels, and he didn't do anything!
There are tributaries of Zishui in the north and mountains in the south. Xu Heng led tens of thousands of Chinese troops here, with so many people available in his hands, but he did not take any measures at all, trying to stop the rebels from moving south, not even firing an arrow; What's even more ridiculous is that last night the rebels left the camp overnight, and Chen Heng didn't react at all!
Zhang Fuxin said: Although this Xu Heng is a nobleman, compared with the generals who have been fighting all year round, his ability is really too far behind.
Zhang Fu took a few heavy breaths, and finally held back the great anger in his heart, he sighed, and said earnestly: "Grandfather Er's ancestors fought the battlefield, and they became ill after hard work, and it was not easy to be knighted, and General Xu must cherish it." ”
Xu Heng's face was flushed, and he hung his head speechlessly.
Zhang Fu looked back again and said, "The battle of Huguang has begun!" If you don't do your best, you may affect the overall situation and live up to the trust of the Holy One! Wait for yourself! ”
The cavalry general of Liu Shengbu hugged his fists and said: "The last general asks for his life, and immediately leads the cavalry to pursue!" ”
Zhang Fu glanced at the general, "You arrived in Xinhua County yesterday evening, and after a whole night, General Xu (Xu Heng) still hasn't told you the terrain here?" ”
Xu Heng's face turned even redder, like pork liver.
"As soon as the Qu Neng rebels leave, Xinhua County will be useless, and the whole army will be camped!" Zhang Fu ordered, "The cavalry goes first, and the various units of the Chinese army follow." The tribes followed the direction of the county seat due south, took the road between the valleys, and marched to Baoqing Mansion (near Shaoyang City). ”
The generals clasped their fists and said: "The last general will wait for the order!" ”
Two days ago, when Zhang Fu left Changsha Mansion and the Chinese army, he sent officials to inform the generals that the Chinese army had moved to Xinhua County. In order for the reports of the generals of the various armies to be sent to the Central Army of Xinhua County as soon as possible.
On the fifth day of October, Zhang Fu received military reports from Liu Sheng, Chen Mao, Tan Zhong, and Xue Lu in the 6th of the Chinese army, and they reported the location of the army. The distance is generally estimated by the horses of the nearby city as a reference.
This is what Zhang Fujun ordered the generals to do. It is already difficult to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and if we cannot grasp the movements of various places, it will be very difficult to deploy.
Only the report of the left deputy general He Fu, Zhang Fu has not received it so far! He Fujun's most recent military report was five days ago.
Zhang Fu sent a small team of horses to the direction of Baoqing Mansion to find He Fu's main force, and ordered He Fu to immediately report the military situation......
That night, more than 50,000 people from the official army and the forward horse team of the Liusheng Department camped in a valley more than 40 miles south of Xinhua County.
A large area south of Xinhua County is full of mountains from north to south; However, there are wide and narrow valleys and hilly areas in the mountains, and there are roads leading to Baoqing Province in the south. The road Zhang Fu took was located east of the route where Qu Neng's rebels had fled, and the terrain was slightly flatter and wider than that of Qu Neng.
There are large mountains and forests on both sides, but the valley in the middle is also wide, and there are some villages around. Dogs barking in nearby villages are very noisy.
However, after nightfall, the barking of dogs made people feel a little more smug. There was no sound of artillery, no guns, and there was no possibility of enemy situation around this place, and the atmosphere of the battle formation could no longer be felt after nightfall.
Zhang Fu lives in a blue-tiled house, under the oil lamp, and he is still busy sitting at the table.
He put down his brush and listened to the movement around him for a while, only reminding himself in his heart that the war was already very urgent. The grand battlefield cannot be directly felt with the eyes and ears, but only by imagination!
Originally, Qu Neng's appearance in Xinhua County was expected in advance, which made Zhang Fu feel that the battle started smoothly; But soon he was poured cold water! The poor performance of the deputy general Xu Heng frustrated the strategy of blocking and besieging Qu Nengbu in the first stage; The most tense situation shifted to the south.
The military situation in the south, but because of the lack of news from He Fubu, Zhang Fu can't understand it now. The situation at this time made him feel very troubled......
However, Zhang Fu estimated based on He Fu's location five days ago that if He Fu's army marched normally according to the military order, it should have been close to Baoqing Mansion City at this time. He Fujun has now become the closest man to Qu Nengjun!
This is not a situation that Zhang Fu wants to see. Gainliu's army came out of Changde Mansion, which was the farthest away from Baoqing Mansion; After Xue Lu, Tan Zhong, and Chen Mao arrived at Changsha Mansion and Tanzhou Prefecture, they had to take a boat across the river and neglect some time. And He Fujun, located in Hengzhou Mansion on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, became the fastest soldier to reach Baoqing Mansion.
Zhang Fu carefully pondered the map on the table, and compared it with the file prepared in advance, it was estimated that the closest route from Qu Nengbu to Zishui was about 200 miles. And because a section of mountain road in the south of Xinhua County is difficult to walk, Zhang Fu judged that it would take at least four days and one night for Qu Neng rebels to reach the north bank of Zishui.
On the evening of the eighth or ninth day of the first month of October, Qu Neng can approach Zishui.
Zhang Fu drew a triangle on the paper at random, hooking three strands, four Xuanwu, if He Fujun walked the hypotenuse and marched to the southwest, it would be the fastest route to get close to the Qu Neng rebels...... Zhang Fu speculated and judged: If He Fujun did arrive near Baoqing Mansion, as long as they turned to the southwest and marched, they would definitely be able to intercept the Qu Neng rebels!
But what is He Fu doing, and is this person credible?
The main force of the Han Wangjun in Yongzhou and what the movements have been in recent days, Zhang Fu has not received any news for the time being.
He hoped that he would not only get the news reported by He Fujun, but also get the news from the scouts and Jinyi guards who had been transferred by the Chinese army to corroborate the military situation. Obtaining information from multiple sources at the same time is a safe way to corroborate the accuracy of the military situation; Zhang Fu led his troops to fight more than once, and he still has these experiences.
Zhang Fu thought carefully for half the night, and there were only two choices in front of him: either give up the goal of the first stage of the battle and let the Qu Neng Department go south; Either you can only rely on He Fujun to continue to complete the early strategy of the campaign!
…… The next morning, the army pulled out of the camp, and Zhang Fu6 continued to receive a lot of military intelligence reports. He rummaged for a while, and the seal and lacquer envelope of the current deputy general Zuo was immediately opened and looked. Zhang Fuxin said: He|mother|, He Fu finally sent a report.
He Fujun is indeed close to Baoqing Mansion City!
According to the report, He Fu had written a military report two days earlier and sent it to Changsha (Zhang Fu has not received it so far). After approaching the city of Baoqingfu, they had crossed the Zishui from the boat bridge; He also found out that a rebel army was in the mountainous area south of Xinhua County, so He Fu decided to march to the southwest and intercept this rebel army!
Zhang Fu flipped through two pages and saw what was written behind...... It roughly describes the movements of the rebel armies of the Han Dynasty, and the main force of the rebels has left the north of the Yongzhou Prefecture; Thousands of its cavalry and tens of thousands of partial divisions are located to the west of it, and they are advancing northward from the Dayang River. He Fu had sent scouts to keep an eye on the positions of the various units of the Han Dynasty's army.
Seeing this, Zhang Fu's expression gradually became agitated, and a vague hope spread in his heart. Fighter planes are fleeting! Military exploits have always been a chestnut in the fire!
Seeing this, the generals on horseback around looked sideways. Zhang Fu handed He Fu's letter to the people around him to circulate it, and couldn't help but say in public: "Ning Yuanhou is a veteran after all, and he will not do anything and ask Ben Shuai to arrange it personally." ”
He no longer hesitated, and immediately made a decision, ordering: "Write the military order immediately, and send it to He Fu's army as soon as possible." Ben Shuai agreed with his approach, and told him to march on the one hand, and at the same time urge the county officials to send the boats on the water to the water gate of the capital city, or burn them. And set up a camp along the Zishui coast to encircle the rebel Qu Neng Department on the north bank of Zishui! ”
The civilian officer of the Chinese army arched his hand and said: "The subordinate officer obeys the order." ”
Zhang Fu said again: "Tell He Fu again that within two days after intercepting Qu Neng's rebels, he will definitely be able to get reinforcements of 60,000 people; Within five days, most of the main forces of our official army will move closer to him! ”
…… The merit of this battle may be He Fu, who Zhang Fu does not trust!
As long as He Fu stopped Qu Neng's troops, even if he couldn't immediately destroy Qu Neng's rebel army, he could gain a great advantage for the official army.
As long as He Fujun and Qu Neng's rebels stumble for a few days, reinforcements from both sides will arrive in June 6 and start a major battle near Zishui.
The Qu Neng rebels had just completed more than 1,000 miles of mountain roads, and their soldiers and horses were exhausted, lacking food and clothing; The total strength of the rebels was in a contrarian situation, but the whole army had to be dragged into the whirlpool of the great war...... Hundreds of thousands of people, how can anyone want to get out of the battlefield and do it? At this time, the decisive battle was held, and Zhang Fu really couldn't think of a reason to be defeated.
The decisive fighter has cleared the fog and loomed ahead. No matter how much Zhang Fu suspects He Fu, the huge military exploits are in front of him, and Zhang Fu is reluctant to let go!
