8. Dingwu Army sent assistance
How familiar it is!
Once, when he was a regimental training envoy in Fengxing Erzhou, Wei Gao led the Fengyi army to come, and without saying a word, he annexed his state army and took away his position as a regimental training envoy.
Now Gao Yue is performing the same drama again.
However, Gao Yue should be more warm and authoritative: the court officials read out the delivery edict, Yan Zhen returned to the court as a free cavalry attendant, and Gao Yue continued to judge the affairs of Fengxiang Mansion for Xingyuan Yin and Fengxiang, everything was so official and unquestionable.
The Dingwu Army supervisor next to him, Ximen Cang, couldn't wait to seal and approve, mobilized all the generals of the Dingwu Army, led by Gao Gu, out of Chencang Road to Fengxiang, and accepted Gao Yue's moderation - after the Xiji Raid Alliance, Tang Fan went to war again, and Gao Yue was already the highest military leader in Fengxiang, Xingyuan, and Jingyuan.
Hechi Shucheng, handed over to more than 1,000 Xingyuan archers who moved to Tun to garrison, by the way, there are springs in the surrounding mountains to camp in the field.
Xingyuan Mansion appointed Lizhou Assassin Wang Tong as the stayer, assisted by Wei Ping and Liu Demu, all the personnel were exactly the same as before Gao Yue left, and the only change was Yan Zhen himself.
"I served as Xingyuan Yin for three months, and the only thing I did was to build a city for Gao Yue for nothing!" Thinking of this, Yan Zhen, who was holding the edict, was souring in his throat, and he almost vomited out of hatred.
But after all, he was still a sincere and honest bureaucrat, and he also understood that after the fall of Zhang Yansheng and Ma Sui, it was a great favor for the emperor to let him, who was Zhang Yansheng's fellow party, be a regular attendant, so he didn't dare to make any defense, stepped on the horse and didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly left Liangquanyi, and hurried to Beijing overnight.
Outside the post station, the Dingwu army is majestic and majestic, it is in formation, the three battalions of cavalry are in front, the battalions of foot soldiers are in the middle one after another, the left and right battalions of the mule army are guarding the baggage and equipment in the back, and there are 700 soldiers of the fifth battalion of Feishan at the very end, escorting the calves, mules and horses that transport the artillery carts, and advance neatly.
As for the 4,000 archers who were requisitioned in Xingyuan Mansion, it is said that they also rushed here in a camp.
Originally, Gao Yue brought the emperor's promise: this year, we don't need to rejuvenate the Yuan and prevent autumn.
However, the news of the Xiji robbery alliance was in the form of a newspaper, and the first time it was from the Jingshi Xingyuan Mansion to the Fucheng Academy, Pegasus to the Fucheng, and then engraved and printed hundreds of copies, and the city walls and various squares were pasted everywhere: the soldiers and the people knew about the ugly and despicable acts of Xifan, and they all gritted their teeth with hatred, and the mountain gate of the Huguo Temple also sent orders to the dojos to propagate the Buddhist idea of "exterminating the Hu race", so this time the Xingyuan Mansion was equivalent to successfully holding a military and even ideological level of "mobilization".
In addition, Guo Zaizhen, the Marquis of Zhongyu, suggested that the money brought by Yan Zhen would be left with 40,000 guan after the city was built, and it would be used directly to reward the army - Gao Gu and Ximen Cang would make a decision, and the generals and archers who went out of the battle would each pay two yuan for equipment, and the remaining more than 10,000 guan would buy sheep wine, so that the soldiers of the whole army could feast on it.
Therefore, what Yan Zhen saw was the Xingyuan Dingwu Army that had drunk the "Turbulent Water Wine" (famous wine in Jiangnan West Road) and eaten the sheep that had taken off the sheep.
They will work the battlefield, they will gallop on the side, make meritorious achievements, and destroy the ugly Tibetan, but all this has nothing to do with Yan Zhen, who is lonely and can only return to the capital alone.......
On the evening of October 26, the third year of Xingyuan (785), when Gao Yue's Yining army was camping ten miles away from Wangyuan City, they encountered 1,500 Fengxiang archers from Su Taiping's department who had retreated from the direction of Wangshan.
Su Taiping and several battalion generals worshiped before Gao Yue after entering the tent.
Gao Yue sat on the Hu bed and asked Su Taiping what was the current situation of Huating if he had been killed by the enemy.
Su Taiping was hesitant, saying that after crossing the Huangshan Mountain, the sky was not clear, and he saw that the thieves were powerful, and the road was sandwiched between Qishan and Longgang, and he was afraid that there would be an ambush, so he gave up the rescue and retreated.
"Said that there are thieves in ambush, but there is a scout certificate?"
Su Taiping Zhiwu said no.
Gao Yue asked again: "Now that you are out of Huangshan, have you ever found out whether the Huating Fang Xianhe is still holding on, what is the casualty of the city soldiers, and the damage to the city wall?" ”
Su Taiping's face changed, and he prevaricated indiscriminately.
Gao Yue's face also changed, and he said sharply: "You don't see the thieves, and you don't see Huating City, so you return like this, do you have the order of Han Qingxun, the assassin of Longzhou?" Is there another order from Ben Yin? ”
"Nothing! Please forgive me, I am waiting for 1,500 people, going to Huating City is tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, in order to protect the army, I can only return. Su Taiping knew that he had angered the new Feng Xiang Yin, so he kowtowed again and again, and said in a wailing voice.
"You are here to kowtow to Ben Yin, all you want is to protect your own head; The thousands of besieged soldiers in Huating want to save their lives, who should they kowtow to? Don't say that 1,500 archers, that is, fifteen people can go to Huating City, Huating can also know that there are reinforcements outside, and they can hold on for three more days, like you are so cowardly and cowardly, Ben Yin has to borrow your head blood sacrifice Chi You, and march to the police army! Gao Yue exhaled sharply.
Zhang Jingze and Fuyu Huai saw that the signs were wrong, so they hurriedly bowed down and pleaded for Su Taiping.
But the prison army on Gao Yue's side made Ju Wenzhen say even more ruthlessly, "If Su Taiping consciously gives the first military gate, he can also protect the size of the family; If you intercede, you will harm his whole people. ”
At this moment, Su Taiping cried and said to everyone present, "Taiping is timid and afraid of war, and he knows that he will die, so he only hopes that after Taiping's death, there will be no shortage of food and clothing for my family, and Taiping will die without regrets." ”
Gao Yue waved his hand, "Don't worry, all but according to the treatment of your death and martyrdom." ”
In the evening, under the newly built Huangyuan City, the twilight clouds are thousands of miles, the sunset is low, and many Xuanwu soldiers shout that the city is going to be punished, and they flock to the top of the city to watch.
On the bank of the mighty Huangshui, Su Taiping was tied up, and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Yining Army lined up neatly behind him, silent, and the supervising army made Ju Wenzhen read aloud his charges of avoiding the enemy and returning to the army without permission, and then announced that he would be beheaded according to the general order of "five beheadings and no pardon" recently promulgated by His Majesty in Beijing.
Then, the two Yu Marquis held Su Taiping down, and the other Yu Marquis raised a high horizontal knife, and then chopped it down, the red light flashed, and Su Taiping's head immediately fell off his shoulder.
In less than a moment, Liu Chang rode out of the gate of Huangyuan City, dismounted in front of the military gate of the Gaoyue camp, and entered the tent to ask for a meeting.
"Liu Chang led 10,000 children of the Xuanwu Army, and they are willing to obey Gao Da Yin's temperance and dispatch, and they will not give up."
"It's not to listen to my moderation, but that I was ordered by the court to control the military of the three towns of Xingyuan, Fengxiang, and Jingyuan. Gao Yue on the Hu bed said.
Liu Chang didn't dare to say half a word.
Then Gao Yue asked Liu Chang to leave 4,000 soldiers in Huangyuan City, handed over to Xuanwu general Li Wanrong, and explained to Li Wanrong: "When the Dingwu army arrives at Fengxiang Shibi Fortress, the soldiers and horses of Wushan, Nanyou, and Huangyang Zhucheng will march together to expel the Longzhou thieves back to the west of Anhua Gorge." ”
Gao Yue asked Liu Chang to lead 6,000 Xuanwu soldiers, return to the Yin unified control, set off overnight, and immediately crossed Huangshan to reinforce Huating!
