Chapter 256: The Shuozhou Tribulation

What Zhu Li wants is this result, today is a rare opportunity, if this opportunity is lost, in the face of a coalition of more than 100,000 people, even if Zhu Li has a clever plan, if he wants to drive them out of the customs, it will take at least half a year or even a few years.

Sometimes, you must not underestimate the role of the mole.

Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong are now two veritable traitors, plus they themselves are people from the Youzhou territory, and it is unimaginably difficult to get rid of these Saiwaidi people with their help.

Zhu Li's soul came from later generations, and in that era, everyone knew more or less about the invasion of devils.

In fact, the devil is not terrible, as long as the people of the Han Dynasty work together, they will definitely not be able to get out of the three eastern provinces.

But in reality, countless pairs of eyes are often blinded, and it took eight years for the people's soldiers to beat the devil away, thanks to an atomic bomb from country M.

Why, it's the role of traitors!!

It's like a gang of robbers who do all kinds of evil, rushing into a house to rob, and just happened to meet an ungrateful child, not only did he and his family work together to drive away the robbers, but also took the robbers into the treasure house, kicked the door of the sister-in-law, betrayed the weaknesses of their brothers and sisters, etc., for other family members who want to drive away the robbers, is it not difficult?

Zhu Li immediately made a decision, taking advantage of the fact that his own morale was high and the morale of the other party was low, he took a risk, thinking that even if he couldn't defeat the coalition army, he would bite off a piece of meat from the coalition army.

Where did he think that this Tules was so afraid of death, as soon as Wu Zhiyi and Qu Tuquan died, he would not have the courage to garrison the position at all, because he led this Xi people to flee on a large scale, and then affected the mighty army and the Youzhou rebels.

What he didn't expect was that Zhu Ya was so fierce, like a mad dog, chasing behind Yelu Pugu's ass, forcing the Khitan commander to have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and finally had to pick a son and chose to flee for his life.

A series of reasons led to the complete collapse of the coalition army, and the defeated coalition army, like a flock of sheep that had just been driven out of the sheepfold, fled in all directions, and plunged for thousands of miles.

Zhu Li squinted his eyes, just hesitated slightly, and immediately took all the cavalry, chased after him, and as long as he didn't surrender, he would cut and kill directly, this was an opportunity, and the results of the battle must be expanded.

Zhu Li and Zhu Li pursued side by side, and Zhao Ba, the general of Ulzhou, was in charge of the break, but was smashed off the horse by Zhu Li's spear, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the soldiers of his department immediately dispersed; Then there were generals Gao Silun and Gao Sixu under Li Quanzhong, who rode out on horseback, wanting to delay and facilitate the retreat of the army.

As soon as the two of them showed their heads, they were slapped off the horse by Zhu Li and Zhu Li, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

As long as the coalition forces were routed and there was a slight movement to gather together, the two brothers, Zhu Li and Zhu Li, like cats smelling fishy, immediately showed their sharp claws, and rushed up without hesitation to scatter them.

The two chased all the way, from Yizhou to Youzhou, and from Youzhou to Jizhou, all the way to the border of Jizhou and Pingzhou, and the two stopped at the horse.

When Yue Pengju of Mozhou heard the news, Zhu Li, with less than 8,000 elite cavalry, chased tens of thousands of coalition troops, crossed the land of Sanzhou, and blocked the warlords of Yelu Pugu, Li Quanzhong, Liu Rengong, and Tules in Pingzhou.

In the battle, nearly 200,000 Di and Han allied troops not only suffered heavy casualties, but also captured nearly 80,000 people.

When Yelu Pugu and the others entered Pingzhou and almost numbered them, the commanders of the warlords of the Quartet all wanted to cry without tears, and the number of people who fled all the way to Pingzhou with them added up to less than 20,000.

It can be said that these four people lost a lot this time, not only were they stripped of their clothes, but they also had to pay for their underwear in the end.

With a military strength of less than 20,000, Yizhou Zhuli defeated a coalition army of nearly 200,000 people in one fell swoop.

At this time, in the distant Shuozhou, it ushered in the most severe moment.

Shuozhou, left away from Yanmen, right side pass, south Ping Ningwu, in the middle of the three passes, choke the throat of the north and south, the east and west important places, is the Central Plains defense of the important town of the Waidi people.

Outside the outer Great Wall is outside the Saiwai, the south of the Inner Great Wall is called the Sainei, the area between the inner and outer Great Wall is called the Saishang, and most of the area of Shuozhou is located on the Saishang.

In the past five years, Shuozhou Dazhi, the counties under its jurisdiction have the original three counties, which have expanded to six counties, namely Pinglu, Kaiyang, Shanyang, Shanyin, Yingxian, and Biguan.

Lu Yong, the general who guarded the Biantou Pass, suddenly rebelled, opened and closed the door, and welcomed more than 100,000 Khitan troops into the Saishang, and as soon as the Khitans entered the Saishang, they immediately plundered the neighboring Bianguan County.

The unsuspecting people of Biguan County encountered the devilish Khitan cavalry head-on, and the end can be imagined.

Hundreds of people died on the streets, countless women were ravaged to death by Khitan thieves, and babies who were still in swaddling clothes also did not escape their fate, either being abandoned in the wilderness at will and starving to death, or being chopped into several pieces and thrown everywhere.

This inhumane and outrageous picture makes those who hear it lose their voices and those who see it are furious.

As soon as he received the news, Yang Zaixing immediately led more than 20,000 Shanyang garrisons to garrison the lower reaches of the Biguan River, and behind him was Pinglu County, the Khitans ravaged Biguan County, and they must not let them plunder Pinglu County, which was the common voice of Yang Zaixing and more than 20,000 Heshuo soldiers.

Wei Chijin personally went into battle and organized the people of Pinglu County to retreat south; In addition, she urgently organized strong men with military experience, about more than 10,000 people, to garrison Pinglu City, and Yang Zaixing, one inside and one outside, echoing each other, ready to swear to intercept the Khitans under Pinglu City.

Chongwenfang Guo Mansion, Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Jing Ming are all there, Guo Qizuo looked at Jing Ming who was standing solemnly, and said coldly: "Lu Yong is the general's general, since the sixth year of Qianfu, this person has followed the general's side." ”

"Under the command of the general, there are dozens of generals, and to put it bluntly, many people are under Guo's surveillance."

"But Guo never expected that those people who were being monitored had been serving the generals conscientiously, but Lu Yong, a veteran general who Guo thought he could rest assured, was bought by Di Ren, ridiculous, ridiculous." Speaking of this, Guo Qizuo's eyes were about to split, and he was angry, and his expression was simply more terrifying than a ghost.

"The disaster in Shanyang was caused by Guo's negligence, so let Guo seek justice for tens of thousands of people, since the Khitans entered Shuozhou, then Guo will let them stay forever."

"Jing Ming." Guo Qizuo raised his head abruptly and looked at Jing Ming.

"The subordinates are here," Jing Ming hurriedly said.

"Tell me to go down and immediately organize the people in the city to retreat to Kaiyang, which is adjacent to Yanmen, with nearly 30,000 garrisons of General Guiba on the side, and it is not easy for the Khitans to capture Kaiyang." Guo Qizuo said coldly.

Guo Chongtao, who was on the side, frowned when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "Brother Guo, Shanyang is the capital of Shuozhou, if it is compared to the solidity of the city, the newly built Kaiyang, and the horse can't catch up with Shanyang; Why did Brother Guo abandon the strong city and not defend it, but he wanted to move the people to a small city like Kaiyang? ”

This question is indeed puzzling, what is Shanyang, here is not only the capital of Shuozhou, but also the military and political center of the entire Heshuo region, the city is tall, the city wall is strong, and it is the crown of countless states and counties in the north, in fact, a small city like Kaiyang is comparable.

Guo Qizuo glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently: "Brother Xian doesn't need to ask more, Guo has his own plans." ”

"If Guo is not mistaken, the fall of Youzhou is only afraid of a game, a game with Khitan, Xi Ren, Li Quanzhong, Liu Rengong, and Lu Yong as chess pieces."

"Their purpose is to lead the general eastward, so that they can calmly deploy in Youzhou and take the opportunity to deal with the general; At the same time, bribing Lu Yong and entering Shuozhou is to destroy the general's lair and subvert our Heshuo forces in one fell swoop. Guo Qizuo said with a gloomy face.

"What?" As soon as Guo Chongtao heard Guo Qizuo say this, he immediately exclaimed, "Their target is the general, isn't the general very dangerous now?" ”

Guo Qizuo turned his head, glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "The other party captured Youzhou in order to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"If Guo's expectations are not bad, Youzhou must have deployed a trap, just wait for the general to buy it."

"But do they think they can really get rid of the generals in the military formation? It's really wishful thinking, don't forget, the general is not only the god of war of countless soldiers in my Heshuo, as long as the general is there, all the soldiers in Heshuo will block ten with one. ”

"What's more, by the general's side, a second general who is almost the same as the general suddenly appeared, with the wisdom of the general, he will inevitably take advantage of this to calmly lay out, the danger is not necessarily, the situation is grim, but it is possible." Guo Qizuo analyzed cautiously.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he put his mind at ease, and said with a gloomy expression: "In this way, the general's rush to help Youzhou is just the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain; And the Khitan army of more than 100,000 marched into Shuozhou, is it the purpose of the other party? ”

"Not really." Guo Qizuo shook his head, "Killing the general is their goal, taking Shuozhou by chance, but by the way, it is just to sell it to the Khitans; Of course, it is also possible to exchange the land of Yunshuo for the support of the Khitans. ”

The three people in the room, analyzing this result, everyone's face was very ugly, but the current situation is very serious, and they cannot be allowed to continue to delay.

Guo Chongtao was immediately sent by Guo Qizuo to Yanmen to assist Zhang Guiba in guarding the people; And Jing Ming has a lot to do, he not only has to organize the people of Shanyang to retreat, but also to send the people from Pinglu to Kaiyang.

Throughout Shanyang, the families of countless officials need to be carefully escorted; In addition, he also had to follow Guo Qizuo's instructions to sprinkle the entire Shanyang City, every courtyard and corner, with fire oil and flammable materials.

What Guo Qizuo wants to do, although it has not yet been specifically developed, Jing Ming has his own guess in his heart.

After Zhu Li left, the whole Shanyang enough generals, there are only Yang Zaixing and Wei Chijian, and now the two are all reinforcing Pinglu, and the entire Shanyang is almost equal to no defense, at this time, if the Khitans come to attack, it is difficult to say whether they can defend it.

Guo Qizuo, on the other hand, simply gave up and insisted on it, and did not hesitate to design the entire city, the purpose is self-evident.

You must know that from receiving the news to Guo Qizuo's decision, it was only half an hour, and sometimes, I have to admire the decisiveness and ferocity of these strategists.
