Chapter 18: Our army has enough food
Sure enough, as Zhang Bin expected, within a few days, the Chinese army abandoned the fortress and retreated, and even Linzhang did not defend it, and went south separately. When the news came, the generals of Qian Zhao were all overjoyed, and Wang Yang planned to lead the troops to chase and kill.
Zhang Bin dissuaded: "Zu Shi is a good general, and the Chinese have not tasted defeat, but they just retreat when they run out of food." It is expected that he will inevitably send troops to break off and even set up an ambush, and the general should be careful not to chase it. ”
Wang Yang bowed his head and said: "What Taifu said is reasonable. But then the conversation changed and said, "Then I have to chase!"
"Linzhang is broken, the Chinese do not defend it, but Anyang, Dangyin will not give up, if it stays in the second city for a long time, the east can threaten Jizhou, and the north makes me dare not go far, then I hold on to Santai in vain, but can not turn the tide of the war, what is the benefit?
"And although the thief's food is exhausted, our army's food is not much, if we can't take the opportunity to chase and loot and grab some food, I'm afraid there will be no foreign police, and the army will collapse by itself, what can I do?"
The Chinese army is running out of food and straw, and hurriedly returning south, at this time there must not be much will to fight, we are chasing the past, and it is expected to win one or two battles, not only can we recapture Anyang and Dangyin, and push the battle line back to the situation at the beginning of this year, but also how much we can grab some food.
There must still be food around the Chinese army, the so-called food is exhausted and retreats, it is impossible to have no grain left, and all the return journey will drink the northwest wind, right? No matter how much you grab or how little you grab, you can be regarded as having an explanation for the soldiers, otherwise we are still guarding Santai, and the grain in the rear cannot be transported, so will we still use the Chinese to return to the division to re-attack? It's going to collapse on your own.
"If the ancestor stays in Anyang, Dangyin to stop me, and shrinks the army in Henan, after a while, collect some grain and grass a little, and make three or five thousand people come, I am afraid that what Santai will see, but one place will be starving!"
When Zhang Bin heard this, he also felt helpless, and finally had to say: "You can ask General Gan to lead the fine cavalry to chase, so that the thief cannot hold Anyang and swing the yin, but he must be cautious and do not fall into his ambush......"
Xuan An is a veteran soldier, not comparable to Wang Yang, I believe that with him as a general, and then lead a cavalry with strong mobility, it should not be ambushed.
In order to be perfect, Zhang Bin must also follow - "If I can break the thief and restore the country to peace, how can I cherish my old bones!" ”
Zhang Mengsun is already in his fifties and almost sixty years old, although he has practiced martial arts and swords since he was a child, and followed Shi Le's southern expedition to the north, his muscles and bones are still strong, after all, the years are not forgiving - the sixty-one-year-old veteran Zhou Yu is worse than him, as for Tao Kan, who is also sixty-one...... That belongs to the master of moving bricks, the odd number against the sky, can't be compared casually!
Therefore, Zhang Bin rode a horse, and the march was just enough, if he really galloped to chase the enemy, it was estimated that he would be half tired. But he didn't worry about Lu An's going, and he insisted on obeying, but Yu An and Wang Yang couldn't dissuade him, so he had to obey his fate.
Zhang Bin asked Jiao'an to take the elite cavalry to chase the enemy, but in fact, Jiao'an brought almost all the cavalry that could be collected, nearly 4,000 cavalry, divided into three teams, and coordinated with each other. Fortunately, in order to make siege equipment, the Chinese army had cut down almost all the big trees nearby, and there was no place to set up an ambush at a glance. After chasing for thirty miles, he finally caught up with the broken Chinese army under the city of Anyang.
This Chinese army is about six or seven thousand people, the number of two battalions, looking at the banner, the general is Wei Rong, the younger brother of Wei Ce. When the sentry saw Wei Rong, Wei Rong naturally found the pursuers and hurriedly ordered to turn around and line up.
Looking from afar, he saw a lot of vehicles crowded among the Wei Rongjun, suspecting that they were heavy and difficult to transport materials - such as golden drums and the like. He estimated that the main force of the Chinese army would not be far away, and it might have already passed Anyang, or it might be stationed in the city. Looking at this way, there should be no ambush ahead, and he can take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy army to go out of the city to reinforce and quickly defeat Wei Rong first. If it happens that the main enemy force is not in the city, the defenders will be demoralized when they see the rapid destruction of friendly forces, and they will have hope of conquering the city.
After taking Anyang, there will be some grain in the treasury, at least my thousands of cavalry will have something to eat. If you plunder the food of the city people, the three garrisons can also have a few full meals.
He immediately rode his horse to take the lead and rushed over, but saw that the Chinese army had lined up those carts in front of the formation to block the enemy's cavalry.
When the cavalry saw the approach, they pulled their bows and arrows together, and the arrows hit the sack on the cart, only to see that the bag was broken, and all that flowed out was - golden grain!
Immediately, the Chinese army resigned and shouted in unison: "You have already planned for the Marshal of Zhongzu!" Our army has enough food, so we can lure you out of Santai! If you abandon your weapons and vote, our army will be able to provide enough! ”
The cry was transmitted in the wind, and although Zhang Bin pulled behind, he could barely hear it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zu Shi Zhizhi is clever and tricky, but in fact, he is upright and upright, and he doesn't worry about me being ......."
——————————
Yang Qing sent an edict to Fangtou to help Wei Hai manage grain and straw materials, and the Chinese and North Koreans naturally notified Zu Ti of this matter, and Yang and Wei also sent their own letters to the front line to comfort Marshal Zu - the material supply is indeed a little unsustainable, but after our repeated co-ordination, according to the original plan, it should not be a big problem to support the front line for another three months.
Zu Ti got the letter, but slightly relaxed his heart - he promised to break the enemy in March, if there is still no plan to conquer Santai by then, then the grain can still be transported or not, it doesn't matter, only retreat. In his estimation, the food and straw of the army will also be exhausted, and it depends on who can survive to the end.
If there is no previous defeat and Zhang Ping is martyred, it is estimated that Zu Ti will most likely be consumed with Santai's previous life, but since this defeat, Zu Shizhi attaches too much importance to his own face, for fear of being attacked by others - to defeat the enemy with the outnumbered, and he can't break the thief for a few months, so he can only wait for the enemy to defeat himself? Why did the imperial court use such an incompetent general?
- Of course, although he did not dare to report directly to Luoyang, the reaction of the DPRK and China has not yet been transmitted, and Zu Ti just took it for granted. However, the actual situation was not much different from his expectations, and officials successively played, asking Zu to be punished for the crime of defeat, blaming him for his efforts but no merit, and even asking the court to change generals.
Pei Gai stubbornly passed these notes through the door, all of them were refuted, and he also asked Pei Wei and said: "If you don't know the soldiers, you ...... "Although you are in charge of civil affairs since Xuzhou, after all, the military and politics were the first at that time, and the military and the people were inseparable, so I can't put a pure military idiot in an important position in the long history, right-"Then such ignorant arguments, since you are in charge of Shangshu Province, why not reject it immediately, but present it to the filthy audio-visual?" ”
Pei Wei replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Since the minister is in charge of the book, and is played by the ministers, in order to enter the door and present it to the imperial court, it is inconvenient to dismiss it unless it is a great rebellion or a lie." As for the knowledgeable and unknowledgeable, the non-ministers can judge arbitrarily - Your Majesty thinks that the ministers have a long day in the military and politics, so they are placed in the prominent position, if the hundreds of officials are more knowledgeable than the ministers, and the ministers are the ministers since the generation, why refute them one by one? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to block the mouth of Youyou with Shangshu Province and not let people speak?
"As for the sealing and refutation, this is a matter for the subordinates, if Your Majesty thinks that it is too uninsightful to play, and it can be presented to the royal review, it is a mistake of the subordinates, and it has nothing to do with Shangshu."
If you think these are, then the province should refute it directly, and it is impossible for you to see it again; Since you have seen it, it means that it is the negligence of the disciples, and as for my Shangshu Province, I am not responsible for the sealing.
Hua Heng and Zu Na were in charge, and they all came out to ask for guilt when they heard the words.
Pei Gai had nothing to say about it. Think about it, are there still fewer keyboard politicians on the Internet in later generations? You can scoff at them, or you can fight with them and denounce them directly, but you can't just seal them and don't let people talk. Especially if Shangshu Province can refute the performance that he is not satisfied with, what is the use of his subordinates? What about the balance and constraints between departments?
Pei should know Zu Li, not only knows his ability, but also knows his heart, and at the same time he also knows Zhang Bin, and knows that with Zhang Bin assisting Kui An in the three stations, even Zu Ti is difficult to win quickly - it is useless to change Tao Kan, and it may be worse if he changes himself. However, the group members who played the game may not know this, let alone understand the truth, and when they heard the report of defeat, they asked for a change of general, although they had no knowledge, it was also reasonable.
He is just worried that these performances may not be purely public, and whether they will be mixed with selfishness. If you just seize the opportunity to make a discussion, hoping to leave an impression in front of the emperor through the performance, it is fine; I am afraid that he is ignoring the overall situation, intending to use this as an excuse to deprive Zu Ti of his military power, and even use the hands of the enemy to completely destroy the ancestral army...... This kind of goods are loyal to private individuals rather than the state, and they deserve the words "their hearts can be punished".
Pei should be worried that there was the instigation of his own original subordinate team behind this, so he deliberately reprimanded Pei Wei, thinking that it was a warning - one of the leaders of the original subordinate was Pei Wenji - but Pei Wei was upright and right, which made Pei Gai a little unable to get off the stage.
He had no choice but to comfort the second servant of his subordinates, saying: "The Qing and others do not specialize in military affairs, so it is difficult to argue, and it is submitted to me without sealing and refutation, which is also reasonable, and it is not the fault of the Qing and the others - the fault lies in me, and the door should not be closed and heard." ”
——————————
Pulling back and talking about Zu Ti, he hopes to be able to fight a victory in order to accelerate the collapse of the enemy of Santai - is it really impossible to spend three months with them? At that time, even if I win three, it is estimated that there will not be much surplus food to follow. In addition, the imperial court has to manage a huge territory, prevent and block the enemies of the Quartet, and also have to take care of the people's livelihood, so the stock of grain is limited, but the thieves can completely dry up in Hebei and fish to fight the trapped beasts; When the time comes, every grain of grain in Youzhou and Hebei Prefecture will be searched and captured to confront me, and even if I am defeated in the end, it will leave me with a mess that is difficult to calm down in the short term, and all I get will be wasteland and starvation, is my face very bright?
Therefore, he thought about it repeatedly, and wanted to plan a clever plan to deal with the Qianjun, but Zhang Bin has always been wise, and it is difficult to hide from him with ordinary strategies.
On the battle array, both sides captured each other's prisoners, so Zhang Bin knew that the river transportation was cut off for a time, and the supply of grain and straw for the Chinese army might not continue, and Zu Ti soon understood this - because he had obtained this letter, he would definitely publicize it and strengthen his heart to defend it. So it's a "you think I don't know you know, but I know you know" game.
Because of this, Zu Shizhi came up with a plan, taking retreat as advance, pretending to withdraw troops and luring the army to chase after him.
In the original history, in fact, the ancestors used a similar scheme-
He once went on a northern expedition to attack Junyi, so that he would guard the east platform of Junyi with Han Qianzhen, and the peach leopard would guard the west platform, and the two sides would face off in the same city for more than 40 days. So Zu Ti sent people to load the soil with cloth bags, pretend to be grain, and transport them to Dongtai, but several of them carried real rice and fell behind, and were chased by the soldiers, and all of them abandoned their burdens and fled. When the peach leopard picked up these bags of rice, he thought that all the food that had been transported to Dongtai before was food, so he was terrified, and he fled at night within a few days......
However, Zhang Bin is not comparable to a peach leopard, so on this timeline, Zu Ti used a trick against his intentions and deliberately threw out some new grains, so that Zhang Bin thought that his own food was about to run out, so as to confuse the enemy. Immediately, Zu Ti disguised the last madness and stormed Jinfengtai, and the general succeeded, but he retreated with all his strength......
Because the Zhao army had no way to retreat, it was impossible to take the initiative to retreat because he knew that the other party still had enough food. Only by making them think that the Chinese army was about to run out of food and was forced to retreat, then it was possible to break away from the three fortifications and go out to pursue. The reason why Zhang Bin lamented that Zu Ti "used tricks clearly, but in fact was a righteous plan", was because even if he still had doubts, he had to believe that the Chinese army was about to run out of food, and use this to boost morale, and after the Chinese army really retreated, he had to chase after it.
In fact, the Chinese army did not go far, and all of them hid in Anyang City, leaving Wei Rong alone to lure the enemy. When Wei Rong saw Zhao Cai chasing after him, he immediately lined up the grain cart and ordered the soldiers to shout loudly to show that his army had enough food to disrupt the enemy's heart. Sure enough, when Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and when Xuan An saw this, he was also quite hesitant, causing the charging speed of the cavalry to slow down at that time.
Immediately, Anyang City opened four gates, and a group of Chinese troops surged out. In desperation, Xuan An had to order to stop the charge and retreat immediately - although he tried harder, he would definitely be able to defeat Wei Rong's troops, but what was the point of that? Moreover, if the time is delayed because of this, resulting in being bitten by the main force of the Chinese army, it is estimated that half of these mobile forces will be wasted here.
Zu Ti also didn't expect Zhang Bin and Xuan An to be so cautious, and only sent thousands of cavalry to chase after him, and when he saw this in the city, he ordered Feng Tie to lead the cavalry to take the lead, chasing and intercepting Xuan An. This escape and chase, thirty miles passed in an instant, and then entered Linzhang.
After the Chinese army withdrew, Linzhang was already an empty city, but the hungry Zhao soldiers would still rush in from Santai, tear down the houses and walls, and turn over the cabinets, hoping to find some food that the Chinese soldiers forgot to take away...... Unexpectedly, not long after the cavalry chased out, they were defeated and retreated, and the Chinese cavalry followed, and Zhao Bing collapsed on the spot.
Part of this collapse comes from the psychological gap - doesn't it mean that the Chinese army has withdrawn, why did it come back? And I heard that there is still enough food...... Part of it comes from the organizational chaos that followed the laxity. So Feng Tie chased after Jiao An and drove straight into Jinfengtai, where Jiao An and Wang Yang were forced to abandon Jinfeng and go to Tongque. If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark, it was estimated that the Chinese army would still be able to take down the bronze sparrow in one go......
And what's even worse is that Zhang Bin suffered from this half-day hard work, and finally fell into the end and was captured by Hua Qi, but he was also so tired that his bones were soft and his muscles were crisp, so he returned to Santai, and he was planted off the horse with his head, and was ordered by Xuan An to be carried by a healthy soldier, and fled to the northernmost ice well platform in embarrassment.
When he put down Mrs. Zhang, he only had his last breath left......
