As soon as he entered the county, he transferred the original guard to Leping, and said: "The terrain of Shangdang is dangerous, and it is not easy for thieves to attack. Weileping Mountain is relatively flat, if Jin Kou takes Leping first, that is, open the north gate of the party, is to entrust the important task of guarding the emperor to Yu Qing. Qing once had a good relationship with Pei Wen, and he knew his nature better than us, or he could anticipate the enemy's stubbornness and not lose my hope. ”

As soon as the six branches reached Leping, they also divided their troops to defend the danger and consolidate the defense. A few days later, he suddenly received a report that several new forts near Shouyang Mountain had been attacked by the Jin army, so he asked his generals: "Taiyuan is the Tai...... Shihu is ravaged, the people are hungry, thieves are rising, and there is no letter from the Chang'an Jin army to the north, I expect Pei Wenyue to attack me in a big way. Then this time the Jin people came, specifically to break the fortress on my realm, in order to defeat my defensive position, and the number of them must not be many - who dares to save it? ”

The first general in the back column came out in response and arched his hand: "The last general and that Pei should have the hatred of killing their brothers, but why have they been in Hebei for a long time, and they can't fight for revenge. I beg the general, order the last general! ”

Zhi Quliu fixed his eyes and took a look, it turned out to be Chen Jian, the commander of the command, and the word Xingguo.

Chen Jian was originally a local tyrant in Huaiyin County, and he and his brother jointly built a dock fort to defend it, but Pei Gai broke it and shot his brother - at least that's what he said. Therefore, Chen Jian fled with his family, and met Zhiqu Liu on the way, which was to show him the way, defeated Pei Gai in Jiangjigang, and forced Huaiyin City to ...... Since then, he has followed the six branches, made many achievements, and has been promoted to the six-grade superintendent.

However, Zhi Quliu looked at Jian Chen, shook his head slightly, and said, "You are not Pei Wenyue's enemy. ”

Chen Jian hurriedly said: "As the general said, Pei Gai will not personally lead the army to invade my borders, so there are not many soldiers, how can the last general not win?" ”

Zhi Quliu still shook his head: "Since there are not many people coming, they must be elite, and they will be led by Xiao generals." Although you are brave, after all, there will be no more than a thousand, if you stop these thousand troops, I am afraid that you will be outnumbered, if you increase your army...... and thou hast not commanded a great army. "The words are quite euphemistic, but the meaning is actually very clear: for now, you are a strong general who charges into battle, leading a thousand people, and you don't have the ability and experience to lead more soldiers and horses, how can you be in this position?

Chen Jiangu asked, saying that even if I didn't let the generals go to the Imperial Jin Division, he hoped that the generals would appoint me as the vanguard.

Shi Taidao, who joined the army: "The army has never been invisible, if you want to go forward and show it later, if you want to be left and show it to the right, if you want to defend and show it to attack." Since Jin Kou came to disturb me, I can only sit and defend my hometown, why don't the general personally cut down the army, destroy the enemy's stubbornness, and retreat from the army on the territory to show that I am not cowardly, naturally Jin Kou does not dare to come lightly. ”

Zhi Quliu nodded: "What you said about joining the army is very reasonable. So he appointed Chen Jian as the vanguard and rushed to Shouyang Mountain, where he led Liu Lang, Hao Shu, Zhidang, Zhang Jin and other generals, and sent 7,000 elite soldiers, followed behind.

Chen Jian received the order, immediately shook his spirits, and led his subordinates out of the county to govern the county, all the way to the north, straight to Shouyang Mountain. However, halfway through, I heard that the fortress at the foot of Shouyang Mountain had been captured by the Jin people, and the Jin people took the opportunity to advance eastward and take the important town of Shangai directly......

There are many mountains in Leping County, Tongqu Avenue is in the east of the county, and the north and south are connected to the four counties of Yiyang, Zhan County, Leping and Shangai, near Shangai, the road turns to the west, leading to the northwesternmost Shouyang County, and Shouyang Mountain is north of Shouyang County - so the Zhao army marched north, to go around in a circle, it was impossible to go straight to Shouyang Mountain, which delayed for several days, resulting in the fortress being broken.

However, from the mouth of the defeated soldiers, they also inquired about the size of the Jin army, but it was only two or three thousand people, but it was said that there were quite a lot of war horses, and the exchanges were like the wind. Chen Jianxin said that there is a large area of flat land sixty miles north of Shangai, and if I encounter an enemy army there, it is estimated that the chances of victory are slim - how can I compete with more than twice as many cavalry on the plain as many foot soldiers? It is better to climb the mountain and guard the danger, and the upper Ai is in a horn situation, which can block the enemy soldiers, so as to wait for the main force led by the general of the small branch to arrive.

So he climbed Liuyun Mountain, more than 30 miles northwest of Shangai County.

Shangai County is the Pingding County of later generations, which belongs to Yangquan City, and Liuyun Mountain, which is called "Liu Beishan" in later generations...... Legend has it that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei marched here, and Zhuge Liang suggested that the three of them shoot arrows to set up camp. Liu Bei shoots arrows to the sky, that is, stays on this mountain; Guan Yu shot to today's Yuquan Mountain, and then built Guanwang Temple; Zhang Fei shot the farthest, as far as Qianmuping Village, ten miles away......

It's funny, after Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, how could he have been north of the Yellow River?

Let's say that Chen Jianfang went to Liuyun Mountain, and reported that the Jin army came to the bottom of the mountain - it was half of the Jin soldiers led by Chen An, about 1,500 horsemen.

Originally, after breaking through the fortress at the foot of Shouyang Mountain and successfully entering Leping County, Beigong Chun planned to go south to invade Shouyang City, but was stopped by Chen An. Chen An said: "Most of the governors ordered us to harass the Qiang Kou and prevent them from deploying defenses with peace of mind, but they repeatedly ordered that they should not attack the city, nor should they wantonly kill and plunder the people......"

It is completely understandable that the second general is not allowed to attack the city, after all, there are only a few thousand cavalry, and in the face of the strong wall, it is difficult to make contributions in a short time, once the reinforcements of Qian Zhao arrive, it will be more dangerous. Besides, the elite cavalry, you let them go to the ant-attached city? Waste is not waste.

However, it is not easy to understand that Pei Gai did not allow them to kill civilians...... Pei Gai said: "The people of Leping, many people of the Jin Dynasty, they are abandoned by the country, and they have to obey the coward, how can they be thieves and kill and plunder in vain?" For example, what Shi Hu did in Xihe and Taiyuan, if I follow suit, how is it different from other beasts? But you can take a little of their food and chase them into the city, and when you can not kill them, don't use the knife easily. ”

Although I don't understand the orders of the Metropolitan Governor, I must also carry them out, so Chen An was very depressed, saying that we are obviously tied up hand and foot, even if we go back and forth in Yangcheng, what's the point?

He said: "In Yanglang County, the people are only a few thousand, and even if they are destroyed, there will be no great damage to the thieves, not to mention that they are not allowed to attack the city...... It's better to go straight to the east and take the upper Ai. There is a lot of arable land around Shangai, and the people live together, even if they do not wantonly kill and plunder, they can also seize their grain and trample on the ridges, making it difficult for thieves to accumulate. ”

Beigong Chun said: "If it is two months earlier, Jun Yan is also." However, at this time, the autumn grain has been harvested, and the grain is more in storage, so what is the point of trampling on Longmu? After a pause, he said: "But Jun Yan also has a point, there are more flat land north of Shangai, which is conducive to the gallop of our army, but it can be forced to Shangai and lure thieves to chase it, that is, to defeat it on the plain." ”

So Chen An went straight to Shangai, passing through Liuyun Mountain, and saw that there was already a banner of Zhao Jun on the mountain, and couldn't help sighing: "It's difficult to enter......

In the north of Shangai, there are mountains in the west and there are streams in the east, in the meantime, the road is still quite rugged and bumpy, it is the trend of easy to advance and difficult to retreat. Originally, it was planned that Beigong Chun would stay in the northwest plain to set up an ambush, and Chen An led half of the cavalry to Shangai to lure the defenders into battle; But now that there is a Zhao army on Liuyun Mountain, if we take the opportunity to go down the mountain and cut off my back road, it will not be easy for the front army to withdraw.

Chen An couldn't help but hate: "The map drawn by the cardinal is too rough, how can you not say that there are mountains here on the map?!" ”

He's deliberately picking on a thorn. A Leping County is outside the jurisdiction, and it is impossible for the cardinal department to send people to come over to carefully survey, and follow the previous map, in terms of the level of map drawing in these years, let alone the terrain, it is common for the city to travel dozens of miles; Second, there are two mountains running through the west of Leping County, and the map is clearly marked, but Liuyun Mountain is more prominent, and such hills, who will mark them on the map?

Chen An didn't dare to continue south, so he came to the bottom of the mountain to call for battle, but Chen Jian only returned with a rain of arrows and refused to come out. Chen An retreated, but Chen Jian did not go down the mountain to chase after him...... In this way, it took more than half a day to fight, and the main force of the six supported troops arrived.

Chen An naturally sent sentinels from afar, and when he got the letter, he set off to return to the north, but he deliberately couldn't run fast, and wanted to lure Zhi Quliu to chase after him. Zhiqu Liuxian met with Chen Jian and asked him what he thought of the enemy, Chen Jian replied: "It was reported that the enemy rode 3,000 horsemen, but now only half of them came, and the last general is on the mountain. The general also has to be careful. ”

Zhi Quliu said with a smile: "Liangzhou horse, vertical and horizontal, only in this mountain range, I am afraid there is no place for it, so I want to lure me to the plain to win." He ordered Hu Han to surrender Liu Lang and Chen Jian to join forces to go first, and he still followed behind unhurriedly.

The next day, more than 20 miles north, it was flat. Sure enough, Chen An turned around to attack, the war horse galloped, and the arrows rained down, so that Zhao Bing could barely raise his head. Liu and Chen Erjun arranged a phalanx, and tried to set up camp again, but they were repeatedly harassed by Chen An's cavalry, which caused the camp to never be set up.

On the evening of the same day, Beigong Chun was invited by Chen Anzhi to attack the Zhao army together, and the Zhao army almost collapsed, thanks to Chen Jianduan's front of the formation, he drew his bow and shot the enemy, although he could still hit seven or eight out of ten in the dark, and finally forced the Jin cavalry to retreat.

In the early morning of the next day, suddenly the sound of people shouting horses and neighing loudly, it turned out that the six bypasses climbed the Wenchang Mountain in the east, and then swarmed down, straight into the flat ground, more than a dozen phalanxes lined up, and the Chinese and Israeli cavalry liaison, step by step approached the Jin formation. Beigong Chun and Chen An waved their troops and attacked, but they were supported by the six members of the mountain, overlooking the battlefield, waving flags for scheduling, resulting in a fierce battle for half a day in the Jin army, and they never found a chance to win. In the afternoon, Liu Lang and Chen Jian finally recovered, that is, they launched a fierce attack from the flank, Beigong Chun was defeated, and was defeated first, and Chen An had to fight his horse and leave.

In this way, the Jin cavalry was pressed to the west step by step, and Beigong and Chen Erjiang tried to make a detour to counterattack several times, but in the end, because the plain was too narrow, and the general Zhang Jin led hundreds of cavalry to chase after him, so that the Jin cavalry did not dare to make a large-scale maneuver, which made it difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

Although the impact of cavalry on the plains can almost completely defeat the infantry, it is extremely expensive in itself - people have to eat and drink, and so are horses, and horses can eat longer than soldiers, and in terms of tenacity in protracted battles, they are often inferior to infantry. Therefore, after fighting for several days, most of the Jin cavalry were tired, and they saw that their beloved war horses were about to lose fat...... The second general had no choice but to withdraw from Leping County in embarrassment.

Zhi Quliu climbed Shouyang Mountain, and saw the Jin cavalry heading east, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Gu left and right said: "I used to be near Luoyang, and I also competed with the 'Liangzhou Horse', and I was brave. However, today's Jin cavalry is more knowledgeable than in the past, and it has always been Pei Wenyue's mastery. ”

Shi Tai suggested: "Since the Jin cavalry is gone, the general can wave his army down the mountain, directly force Guangmu, plunder the wild people, and intimidate the Jin Kou." ”

Zhi Quliu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to draw snakes. Since I rode from Jin to Jin, Pei Wenyu knew that I was prepared, and he didn't dare to stop sending thousands of people like this. Domestic ...... Zhao Ren was already half-hearted, Jin Kou entered, but did not kill and plunder, this must be Pei Wenyue's life. Pei Gongshi is benevolent, and if I use violence to return the people of Xinxing and Taiyuan, I am afraid that the hearts of the people should be towards Pei, which will not be conducive to my long-term stay in Leping. So he left Chen Jian, repaired the barrier at the foot of the mountain, and returned by himself.

However, instead of returning to Zhanxian, he stationed troops in Ai in order to consolidate the defenses of the northwestern frontier.

Besides, Beigong Chun and Chen Aner will return to Jinyang and ask Pei for their guilt, Pei should smile and comfort them: "Qing can wait for Leping, although it is expelled, the loss is not very many, at most it is useless, and An is guilty?" So he summoned all the generals and ordered the second general to give a detailed account of the battle in the past few days, so that he could analyze and review it.

After listening to the description, Liu Yang first expressed his position, saying: "If the two generals break through Shouyang Mountain, that is, go south to receive the sun, then the thief is far away and difficult to save, but he cannot go deep. Now that it is deep, it is enough to deter the thief, and it is not a mistake to check his behavior. It's a pity that there are few soldiers, and the terrain is complicated, and even the thieves are driven out. ”

Pei Gai nodded and said that indeed, there is nothing wrong with the use of troops by Guan Er, but-"I know what I know about Zhiqu Liu, I am brave and reckless, but I didn't expect to know how to advance and retreat...... "There is nothing wrong with Zhiqu Liu's use of troops, and the strategic goal is very clear, that is, to blast you out, obviously the number of soldiers is several times more, and there is no intention of fighting a rout or even a war of annihilation. This style of painting is not right.,Is this still the branch six I know?

With the mobility and impact of the cavalry, coupled with the fact that all orders are elite cavalry, Beigong Chun and Chen An are also generals, if Zhi Qu Liu dares to plan a rout battle or even a war of annihilation on the plain, I believe that the two generals will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Why did the small branch become so cautious? And since he returned to Shouyang Mountain, he didn't even think of rushing out to loot Guangmu County......

The so-called "Shibei three days, when you look at each other", it is already difficult to get Qiang An - among the generals, Shi Le and Zhang Bin are below, Pei Gai thinks that the most difficult thing to deal with is the treacherous Kong Chang, followed by Qiang An, Shi Hu has to go to the back row - now there is an upgraded Zhiqu Liu...... It seems that if you don't send a large army from Chang'an to reinforce it, it will be very difficult for these soldiers and horses in Jinyang to break into the Shangdang, which is in dangerous terrain.

It is best to recover Hanoi in the first place, and then you can attack the party in two ways, and the chances of winning are relatively large.

Since Pei Gai started his army, he has repeatedly defeated strong enemies, but most of the time, he first occupied the favorable terrain and then fought a defensive counterattack. Under the premise that the danger of mountains and rivers has been the enemy's first position, how to win the offensive battle, to be honest, he has no bottom in his heart. It is estimated that when the time comes, Tao Shixing will have to be summoned to command.
