For the treacherous government behind him, Zu Li ignored them - he didn't have time to pay attention to them - he crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Wen County.

Li Ju and Wei should have been informed that their advice could not be used, and the hussar general was still bent on revitalizing the army, since this was the case, there was no reason to continue to admonish, and only by focusing on the current war situation could the country turn the crisis into peace. However, as soon as Zu Ti met with the two, he first reported the news: "The two generals learned that Da Sima Yu Guanzhong has broken the beard!" ”

Li and Wei were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked about the specific situation, but Zu Ti said that I didn't know either, but I knew that Liu Cang had already fled—we had to wait a few days for a detailed report.

That is, he entered the city and inquired about the state of the battle. Li Ju replied: "The frontal thieves, for Taobao and Zhao Gu, combined more than 20,000 troops, forced the city and the wall, but they did not dare to attack the ......" Zu Ti said: "Rest for one night, go out of the city tomorrow, and destroy the fang!" ”

The next day, a fierce battle began under the city, and Feng Long led the "revenge army" to enter the enemy first, and the soldiers were all brave and killed in front of Zhao Gu. Zhao Gu was a little flustered when he saw the banner of the word "ancestor", so he didn't wait for the Jin army to really approach, so he turned his horse's head and left. Zhao Gu's escape shook the army's momentum, and the peach leopard couldn't bear it, so he led the army to retreat. Zu Ti waved his division to chase and kill from behind, killing no less than 1,000 prisoners and prisoners.

Zhao Gu naturally fled back to the wild king, but the peach leopard did not go with him, but fled to the northwest to the state and county, and the two cities were in a horn trend, echoing each other. As soon as Taobao entered the prefecture and county, he took a breather, and ordered the secretary to write a letter, explaining that Zu Ti had led a large army to aid Hanoi - two letters, one was sent to Xiangguo thousands of miles away to report to Shile, and the other was to go north beyond Taihang to inform the party's Xuan'an.

According to the original plan, if the Jin people increased their troops, Zhao Gu and Taobao could not be controlled, and Jiao'an would lead the party army to cross the Taihang and go south, and go straight to the wild king. And if Zu Ti comes in person, it is estimated that Xuan An and Taobao may not be his opponents, I can't say, Zhao Gong, I am afraid that you will have to run this trip in person.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Peach Leopard only helped Zhao Gu and strictly guarded Yewang and Zhou County.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and the Jin army forced the wild king to go into battle. At this time, the official victory report in the pass has also been sent to the front of the army in Luoyang, Zu Ti knew that the west road was temporarily worry-free, so he divided the army to take Qinshui, Yixian, and the key pass at the junction of Hanoi and Hedong - the main purpose of this move was to block Wangwucheng, so as not to go south through Wangwucheng and copy the back road of the Jin army.

But he can't control the Taihang Cheng behind the wild king and the Bai Cheng in Ji County. Zu Ti originally expected that the Shangdang army might come out from then on and go south to reinforce Zhao Gu, but it was too dangerous, and the military behavior was difficult.

Or Li Ju reminded him: "The last general will wait for the first break of Zhao Gu, and take the state and county in the west, and also think that the peach leopard will be trusted, or will ask the slave, and he will not come, but he will arrive in three days, and the last general will be caught off guard, and even frustrated." From this, it can be seen that the Karma Nu made the peach leopard stationed in Ji County, and if he harassed Si and Yan, it was actually intended in Hanoi. Be cautious. ”

Zu Ti nodded: "What Shihui said is reasonable. Before I left, I had ordered Huan Xuan and Xu Gong to pretend to want to cross, so as to contain the slaves and prevent them from coming in a big way. However, if Jiao'an and even Shi Hu follow, our army is less than 30,000, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist ...... "The best way is to conquer Yewang as soon as possible, and then blockade Taihang, so that the Shangdang army can only take a detour to fight Baicheng from Jijun."

The wild king is the ancient city of Zhongzhou, which belongs to Qin Huai in Xia, is the Hou State of Hu in Shang, and is the capital of the Ju State in Zhou. After that, the wild king passed through the Jin, Wei, and Han and finally entered Qin, Qin attacked the guard, moved the guard to the wild king, and it was not until the time of Qin II that the Wei was restored, and the city was completely included in the territory - but at that time, the territory of Qin had begun to fall apart.

Yewang County is backed by Taihang, there is Qinshui to the north, but on the south side, it is a flat river, and there is no danger to rely on. The so-called "Qin Huai land" in the Xia Dynasty is actually the king of Baoye in the north and Rongwen County in the south. Now that Wen County is owned by the Jin people, the wild king is like being stripped of the outer wall, and the enemy can directly kick the door.

It's just because of this, so after successive repairs, Yewang City is quite majestic and solid, and Zhao Gu has been in business for a long time, and it is not easy for Jin Shi to want to go down in one drum - besides, there are peach leopards in the state and county to support him. So on the one hand, Zu Ti made Li Ju set up camp in the west of the city to prevent peach leopards, on the other hand, he cut down trees and forests to build siege equipment, and at the same time summoned the general Shangguan Si and asked him: "Can Zhao Gu say and surrender?" ”

Shangguan Si was originally a subordinate general of Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, and after Sima Yi was killed by Zhang Fang, he responded to the call of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and raised troops to crusade against the traitor Sima Ying, and then entered Luoyang. Sima Yue went out of the town of Yuxiang, and did not take Shangguan Si, he was still stationed in the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and when the "Yongjia Rebellion", Luoyang City was broken, and Emperor Huai was taken captive, he led the remnants of the army to fight guerrillas in Henan, Hehinland, etc.

At that time, the semi-independent forces in this area, in addition to Shangguan Si, also included Li Ju, Guo Mo, Wei Jun and his nephew Wei Gai, and Zhao Gu. Because the whole court let people serve it, Situ Fu Yi in Heyin and Xun Fan and Xun Group brothers in Yangcheng have no talent to control people, resulting in no generals having subordinates, so while fighting with the Hu people, they often attack each other and grab territory, grain and grass. Therefore, Shangguan Si had dealt with Zhao Gu for a long time, and Zu Ti Nai first consulted Li Ju's opinion, and then asked Shangguan Si.

Shangguan Si replied: "Zhao Gu's first rat generation, and he has no deep plan, now I see that I am in a big position, and most of them are willing to surrender." However, if the peach leopard has already said that the party army is coming, he may hesitate, and it is not easy to say. ”

Zu Li said: "If I can persuade Zhao Gu to surrender, the land of Hanoi can be passed on, that is, the slaves will send troops to come, and I will not be afraid." "Then I analyzed the situation to Shangguan Si, and said that the soldiers of Yan and Yu will arrive in Gyeonggi one after another, and if I meet together to cross the river together, I can get forty or fifty thousand people, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to transport grain, and the Henan region will be hollowed out in the first war, so I will bring these 20,000 troops first. If Hanoi can be pacified with 20,000 horses, it will be the best policy to gain a lot of gains, but also to cause less damage to the country and less financial pressure.

So-"Can Qing dare to enter the city and say that Zhao Gu is coming down?" ”

Shangguan Si hesitated for a moment and replied, "Ming Gong has an order, how dare he disobey it?" But I'm afraid that Zhao Gu is a villain repeatedly, ruthless and cunning, once he harms me, my wife and Xiaoju are in Luoyang, and I hope that Ming Gong will take care of ......"

Zu Ti said don't worry, if you really have three long and two short, your wife and children will definitely be supported by the court.

Shangguan Si said goodbye until the city and called Zhao Gu to see him. After waiting for a long time, the city finally decorated a bamboo basket and took Shangguan Si in.

On the one hand, Zu Ti continued to build siege equipment, and on the other hand, he waited for news from the city. But it wasn't until the next day that another bamboo basket was finally put down, but there was no one in it, just a bloody head rolled out......

All the generals were angry, and they all asked for battle, demanding to break the wild king, and hack Zhao Gu to death with a random blade. Zu Ti couldn't help but wipe away his tears, but then stopped the generals and said: "Zhao Guruo has already had the will to fight to the death, and he doesn't have to wait for a night to harm General Shangguan - this must be that he has already entered his realm!" ”

Even if it takes three or five days for Xuan An to arrive, Zhao Gu definitely doesn't have the guts!

So he ordered the people to stand still for a while and wait another day before they waved their troops to attack the city. Sure enough, when the Jin army filled in the trench and approached the front of the sheep and horse wall, suddenly countless Qian troops waded from the lower reaches of Qinshui and attacked the Jin army from the side, and at the same time, the peach leopard in the state and county also opened the city to kill.

The Jin army retreated from the city in disarray, and the Jin army pursued closely and went straight to the Jin camp. But then a drum sounded, and the ambush soldiers came out in all directions, and the future prisoner regiments surrounded them. Zu Ti personally lifted his spear and mounted his horse, rushed to kill in front, and stabbed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, and the people were in chaos.

Sure enough, as expected by Li Ju and Zu Ti, Xuan An had already garrisoned in Gaodu County, south of Shangdang County, waiting for news from Hanoi. When he heard the intelligence that the Jin people sent reinforcements, he waved his army out of Taihang, sneaked to the north of Qinshui, and sent a message to Zhao Gu and Taobao to make an appointment to raise together. Just in time for Shangguan Si to come to Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu greeted him respectfully at first, set up a banquet to entertain, and talked about the conditions with Shangguan Si, and waited until the middle of the night to get the news of Xuan An, so he killed Shangguan Si with a knife, and threw the head out of the city after dawn.

Then the three generals conspired, waiting for the Jin people to come to attack the city, so that the inside and outside echoed, the east and west attacked, and the Jin division was broken. However, when Jiao'an hurriedly crossed the Qinshui and took the Jin camp directly, and the peach leopard also came from the state and county in a hurry, Zhao Gu was also cunning and still closed the city gate and did not come out. Immediately in the ambush, the battle to the death, retreated back to Qinbei, the peach leopard was also blocked back to the city by Li Ju, Zhao Gu saw it in the city, wiped the cold sweat, and said in his heart If I should open the city and kill, it is estimated that it will be over at this time......

——————————

Although Zu Ti defeated Jiao'an and Taobao, the number of enemy troops on the battlefield was estimated to be no less than 20,000 people, and those who fled to Qinbei were estimated to be more than seventy percent. Immediately Jiao'an officially set up camp on the north bank of Qinshui, unfurled the banner high, Zu Shizhi judged that the enemy's three troops combined, still more than his own army, and showed a trend of horns to help, relying on his own less than 30,000 people, I am afraid that he would not want to conquer Yewang City smoothly. In desperation, he had to temporarily suspend the army and send an envoy to Luoyang to call for reinforcements.

Zu Yue was in Luoyang, although he drove Li Rong away, but he was put together by Liang Fen and Xun Song to summon his second brother Zu into the capital, and his head was like a sword of Damocles, which would be cut down at some point...... Although he was anxious day and night, he did not dare to neglect political affairs, mainly the affairs of his ancestral family, and hurriedly dispatched grain and supplies, and sent 5,000 troops to help Hanoi.

At the same time, Taobao's urgent report also reached Xiangguo, and when Shi Le saw it, he said to Zhang Bin: "As expected, Zu Ti personally led the army to attack Hanoi. Xuan An and Peach Leopard, I'm afraid they are not his opponents......"

In fact, Shi Le has never seen a battle with Zu Li, but Zu Li has fought several vicious battles in Henan, broke Hu Shi, and even killed Liu Fu and forced Hu Yanyan to death. Besides, Shi Le looks down on Pei Gai very much, so is it possible that Zu Ti, who can fight side by side with Pei Gai and be entrusted with the important task of guarding Henan, is it possible that he is a waste?

Zhang Bin said: "Zu's movements, the minister and Ming Gong have already said, now we should invite Ming Gong to come to the front in person, control the two generals of Jiao and Tao, and break the ancestors." ”

The main reason why Shile did not send troops and horses to rescue Hanoi was that Hebei did not have much grain in stock, and it was difficult to support the expedition of the army. However, Peach Leopard went first, and had already told Zhao Gu that once the Jin people increased their troops, I was afraid that I would not be able to stop it, unless you had accumulated the valley between Shanyang and Wude in the east of the county in advance, I would summon Shangdang Jiao'an and even Zhao Gongqin of Xiangguo to come to the rescue. Hanoi's agriculture is very developed, even after several turmoil, its wealth is still stronger than Henan, Ji County and other neighboring places, plus Zhao Gu in the county rampant expropriation, the army is not much stronger, but the grain is accumulated hundreds of thousands of Hu. Previously, he and Taobao forced to the city of Wenxian, but they did not attack, first, they did not dare to fight, and second, they used this time to hurriedly transport grain to the east.

Zhang Bin therefore suggested that now that the food problem is basically solved, Zhao Gong can personally lead a group of soldiers and horses to rescue Hanoi, command the generals, and compete with Zu Li, and in order to make a foolish strategy, it is best to order Shi Hu of Jinyang to send troops and transport grain to the party as a backup.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of Xiangguo had not yet received the news that Liu Yao was vainly trying to cross east, so Shi Le just heard that Shi Hu was going south and robbed Xihe County in the name of guarding Caisangjin, so he immediately sent an envoy to reprimand him. Shi Le said in the official document, you just need to guard the annex state for me, and you must not act without an order, otherwise the military law will not be merciful!

Zhang Bin is also afraid that Shi Hu, the little jackal, will not be able to restrain it as soon as it is released, if he makes any more trouble, it does not matter if the relationship between Hu and Liang is tense, if it hinders Liu Can's war in Guanzhong, so that the Hu army will be defeated and retreated in advance - defeat is certain, depending on the defeat sooner or later - it will inevitably affect the battle of Hanoi! Therefore, Zhao Gong, you still order, let Shi Hu also get involved in this battle, don't let him waste his energy in places that he shouldn't pay attention to.

Shi Le is such a smart person, although Zhang Bin did not explicitly restrain Shi Hu, Shi Le immediately nodded and said: "If Ji Long defends Tuoba in the north and aids Shangdang and Hanoi in the south, he will have no time to act rashly." Just about to send troops, Cheng Yao next to him hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Ming Gong, please think twice!" ”

He said that our Hebei is not very stable, there is Duan Piyan in the north, and Shao Xu occupies Leling in the south, if you hear that you have left Xiangguo, they will send troops to attack together, then what should we do?

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "Ziyuan has seen far away, but there is nothing to worry about. ”

Cheng Yao habitually wanted to refute Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin naturally habitually blocked back, he said: "If there is Duan Mo Zhu as the internal response, then the Duan clan will not dare to send troops to the south; If Liu Kun comes alone, the defeated division is not to worry. As for Shao Xu, our army attacked before, and the fields and valleys on the outskirts of the city were tired of the lack of food, and even more than Xiangguo, he only protected himself, who would attack? ”

Cheng Yao looked unconvinced, but obviously opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but hesitated, and finally swallowed a lot of words back......
