Chapter 641: Tongguan Candidates
The unity of thought allows the group to have a clear goal, and there will be no more confusion.
The immediate priority now is to start reaping the fruits of victory after the Battle of Puseong.
The battle of Pucheng gave Lu Shi a big advantage, that is, the guiding ideology of the official army was to fight a decisive battle with the Chuang army in Pucheng, but as a result, it happened suddenly, Pucheng failed to consume the strength and materials of the Chuang army according to the expectations of the official army, but during the siege of Pucheng, he was greatly injured, not only wiped out the only little resistance force of the surrounding guards, but also caused the hungry people in Pucheng to riot, and before the official army could really integrate all the forces of Shaanxi, Pucheng fell.
An accident that surprised Li Yingqi and Hong Chengchou completely disrupted their deployment.
First of all, it is to use Pucheng as a line of defense to protect the remaining poor southern Shaanxi, and to form a barrier for Xi'an.
However, these were all turned invisible in an instant, and the defeat of Pucheng in the first battle, the entire southern and eastern part of Shaanxi almost became an undefended area, in fact, there was no power to fortify.
As a result, the invading army chased the retreating officers and troops all the way west, destroying and being invincible along the way.
Originally as the last line of defense in Xi'an, Weinan Zhixian saw the defeat of Zhang's army into the city, and was terrified. I can't say it, when the people in the city were panicking, the first one with a small and soft family, carrying a big seal, ran away directly with the defeated soldiers passing through the city.
When the running, yes, the running panting army rushed to Weinan, the last barrier in Xi'an, ----, what I saw was that the city gate was wide open, several gentry with their families, and hundreds of people welcomed the scene, and the scene made Zhu Tie, who led the team, hesitate for a long time and did not dare to enter the city, for fear that Zhang Yuan would give himself some conspiracy.
The fall of Weinan was between the Chuang army and the official army, in fact, between the Chuang Wang base and Xi'an, and there was only a straight line distance of 50 miles, and between the two, there was only one Wei River.
If in the summer, or in a normal year, the Wei River is also a natural barrier between the two, but it is a year of drought year after year, the Wei River, which was originally a vast soup, is now lifeless, not to mention, in this cold season, it is even more frozen into a glacier, except for people walking on it to hit a few stumbling, there is no role of heaven's damnation.
Now, Xi'an, right in front of you, take Xi'an, and the whole of Shaanxi will be completely included in the pocket of King Chuang.
At this time, Zhu Tie, who was eager to try, received an order from King Chuang-------------- the whole army stood still, and defending Weinan City was victory.
Zhu Tie expressed his incomprehension of King Chuang's order, but as the leader of the twenty-four guards beside King Lu Shi at the beginning, the kind of obedience in his heart made him stop firmly.
Issuing this order, Lu Shi was also out of helplessness, and it was advisable to chase after the poor man, Lu Shi did not know it as a descendant, but it was precisely because of this great piece that Lu Shizhen really felt powerless.
When I went south to the Weinan Plain, I thought that I would go through a long period of tug-of-war, but I didn't expect it to be such a result, so that there was a situation of follow-up powerlessness, the original mobilized military force, now before the second mobilization, has been exhausted, the most important thing is that the crash course of the administrative officer, has been exhausted, can no longer come up with decent people to rectify the place, manage the place, now, Lu Shi has urgently instructed Chen Ce, to ask him to immediately order, in Zhiluogou Wang Xin, As well as Mr. Ganquan Li's urgent transfer of administrative officials to reinforce the newly occupied places, the junior military academy that he was most reluctant to reluctant, that is, his own student soldiers, had to be taken out and distributed to various places this time, and the internship was not necessary, and he just went directly to battle.
Greedy and chewy, now Lu Shi has a deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence.
However, when various places had to stop attacking, Lu Shi was still the first to send Chen Che to lead 3,000 men and horses to Tongguan, the throat of Shaanxi and the outside world, ------------ the night of the starry night, and the port town is Gutongguan County.
Ancient Tongguan (6 photos) Tongguan is known as "the first risk in Jinei", which is "the key to the three Qin towns" and "the throat of the four towns", and has a history of more than 2,000 years since the establishment of the county at the end of the Han Dynasty. It occupies the intersection of Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi, and is a place where soldiers have always been contested.
Only by taking Tongguan and closing the door to foreign military affairs can we truly ensure the security of our entire Shaanxi development.
At that time, Lu Shi took Chen Che's hand, staring at this brother who was capable, but liked to make small moves from time to time, and said seriously; 'Brother Chen Che, the importance of Tongguan is self-evident, it is the key to our survival and development in the future, I sent you there to sit in the town, is to put the hope of the security of the entire base area in a few years into your hands, I hope you will not let me down. ’
Chen Che looked at Wu Tao, who was following King Chuang, and then shook the hand that was tightly held by King Chuang, and what came from King Chuang's hand was a kind of warmth, a kind of firmness, a kind of trust, yes, it was indeed a kind of trust.
From a dispensable administrative officer in Fu County, the old base, to the reputation of the deputy captain of the supervisor sergeant who has no power at all, in the whole team, he is actually a kind of dispensable embarrassing position, this time, he was finally reused by King Chuang and sent to become the Tongguan garrison.
Don't think that this position is a kind of demotion for yourself, in fact, it is the trust of King Chuang in his own ability, and it is an affirmation of himself, Tongguan, the place of life and death in the base area, such a position, such a garrison, it shows that he really joined the base area this time, the core of the army, and since then, in this core, it represents the original Huluyu and other factions, in addition to Wu Tao's brother, there is another self.
"King Chuang, rest assured, as long as these 3,000 brothers are here, even if the official army has 100,000 troops to attack Tongguan, I will still make him look at the pass and sigh that he can't move forward half a step." If I can't complete my mission, please talk to my head. ’
Lu Shi smiled; I firmly believe in the commitment of Brother Chen Che. He turned around and said to Wu Tao and the third uncle with a smile; Since ancient times, Tongguan is steep, and there is a husband who is not open, but in this world, there is no pass that cannot be broken. The city that can't be taken, although the Chen Che brothers are confident, but we still have to give full support in logistics. ’
The third uncle interfaced; "That's right, Tongguan can't have anything to do, and I will do my best to support Chen Che's garrison." ’
Wu Tao is actually helpless about this brother sometimes, people are capable, but they have more eyes, and they think more, they put him in the core of the base in Fuxian, in fact, this is still put forward by themselves, just want to put him under their noses, I don't want this ambitious brother to make any mistakes, but now there is a shortage of talents, especially the town guarding Tongguan does need a brave and resourceful, bold and careful person, looking at it, in addition to those brothers in the core, only the Chen Che brothers can do it.
So, at this time, Wu Tao had to stand up and admonish Chen Che with a serious face; 'Although Tongguan is dangerous, all natural dangers are based on people, and King Chuang has entrusted you with the burden of this whole base, and I don't want you to have any slackness. Then he stared at Chen Che's eyes tightly, and said a pun; 'Once you slack off, I will be the first to apply military law to you, and I still have the determination to tear down the horse. ’
Seeing that his brother was solemn, Chen Che also put away his relaxed look, took out the hand that King Chuang was holding, and gave Brother Wu Tao a proper salute and assured; 'A thousand heavy burdens, I know the weight, the king and my brother trust, I divide the good and bad, Tongguan, with my breath, is iron and copper, in case of mistakes, there is no need for my brother to implement military law, I will die on the battlefield to my brother and the father of the base area. ’
Seeing that what everyone said was a bit too much, Lu Shi hurriedly changed the topic, pulled Chen Che over again, and said with a smile; 'Tongguan defense is not external and internal, it is not difficult to capture Tongguan, the difficulty is to strengthen the repair after the capture, and the logistics may not be available for a while, so it is hard to think of a way for the Chen Che brothers. ’
'Since being diligent and thrifty, I will give King Chuang an iron-clad Tongguan within half a month. Chen Che firmly assured.
Lu Shi nodded, and then whispered to Chen Daodao; As soon as you go to Tongguan, while repairing and strengthening the garrison, you must personally arrange for your intimate brothers to investigate the geology of Tongguan, Huayin and other places. ’
When Chen Che saw the seriousness of what King Chuang said, he immediately became interested and asked quietly; 'King Chuang, is there any mineral deposit there?' ’
'Yes. Lu Shi pulled Chen Che and the third uncle Wu Tao and walked out a few steps, to see that there was no idle left and right, and said in a low voice; 'I listened to the report of the Toucheng officials who know a lot about Tongguan, and the Tongguan Huayin generation is an important mineral deposit. ’
'What is it that makes King Chuang so careful?' The third uncle was the first to question, and Wu Tao also saw Lu Shi so serious about a mineral deposit for the first time, and he also poked his head and waited for King Chuang's next words.
'Gold mines. Lu Shi lowered his voice again.
'What? Gold mine? It was Zhao Xing who screamed, and this exclamation startled everyone.
"No, I will immediately dispatch the most elite brothers of the prison sergeant, and follow the Chen Che brothers, by the way, Chen Che brothers, you must not arrange for others to deal with the problem of prospecting, just arrange our own prison sergeant brothers to handle it, once you find out, you immediately mobilize the army to protect it, and then fly to report to the king." ’
That's right, that's how it works. Wu Tao also became nervous and thought about it; 'No, I'd better go down, it's too big.' I have to make Wu Tao nervous, there are people and horses, and there is a gold mine as a backing, he really doesn't know what his somewhat ambitious brother will do in the future.
Lu Shi waved his hand indifferently; "Don't be nervous, firstly, the future war will require the military advisor to plan and consult, and secondly, Brother Chen also has the ability to do such a thing, so don't be nervous." ’
Since King Chuang said it, Wu Tao opened his mouth, and it was not good to say anything.
Chen Che blushed for a while, couldn't help but feel guilty, and was ashamed of his little selfishness, and hurriedly gave up his hand to promise; 'King Chuang, third uncle, brother rest assured, the conscience of heaven and earth is here, and I will definitely take care of the world for the base. ’
