Chapter 45: Defeat without discouragement
Pei Gai established a military academy in Chang'an City, and appointed Xiong Yizhi as the principal, so that the intermediate generals could study. During this period, he also went to teach the students a few times, and after the lecture, he refused to leave with a flick of his sleeves, and often had meals and conversations with the students.
This is naturally to win over the hearts of the people, if you can brainwash all the middle-level generals through the military academy, then even if the generals are unstable or warlordized, they can also expect to get the news in time, so that they can plan in advance and prevent the slightest problem.
The so-called free talk, of course, most of the time is mostly talked about, and the students can only listen, Pei Gai has repeatedly talked about his experience when he was trapped in the camp, trying to establish a loyal and courageous and resourceful image. And you can also take this opportunity to introduce the generals of the camp you have come into contact with to your subordinates, so that you can face the enemy on the battlefield in the future, and you will have a spectrum in your heart.
Naturally, the name of Jian Dao, who joined the army in the camp, was also mentioned. According to Pei Gai, Jian Dao represents the majority of the Jin army, and he does not have the intention of betraying the Jin or rebelling against the country, and the chaos is purely for the sake of eating with a mixed mouth-"Therefore, if the strategy of attacking the heart is applied, not only the Jin people from the Jin, that is, the Hu Xian, are also expected to be subdued." ”
Yang Qing remembered Jian Dao's name at this time, and at this time he boldly inquired, and by the way, he said compliments - and pretended that Pei Gai said it, which carried more weight than what I said. Fortunately, Jian Dao is only a member of the army, if he enjoys a high position, it is estimated that Yang Qing will not dare to admit it.
Jian Dao therefore asked, "Have you actually seen Pei Gong?" ”
Yang Qing casually said nonsense: "The villain has treated the wounds of the big Sima......" pondered again, it seemed that Pei should have only been hit by an arrow once on the battlefield, and with his own identity and means, he might not be able to be ranked to heal him, so he changed his words - "The villain is good at healing hemorrhoids, and he has cut wounds for Da Sima." ”
Jian Dao sighed: "Poor, I don't want Pei Gong to suffer from this evil disease when he is still young." ”
Jian Dao, the word is complicated, this is in Shile's "gentleman's camp", when Pei should be trapped, he has a lot of contacts with it.
Time has changed, several years have passed in a hurry, Pei should return to Jin and become the ruler, but Jian Dao is still just a small official. This is because although he is proficient in medical skills, he is not the leader in the army, and in addition, he has almost no talent, even if he was in the "gentleman's camp", he was ranked at the bottom, and he was like a servant, and he was called by Zhang Bin, Cheng Yao and others all day long......
Therefore, Shi Le called the king and called the emperor, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven, but the simplicity was complicated but still sinking into the subordinates, although the current title is "joining the army", in fact, it is like a supernumerary. It's like a later generation said: "Staff officers don't have commanders, and they don't make a sound." "And the staff officer can be either a general or a second lieutenant...... Jian Dao almost belongs to this kind of second lieutenant staff officer.
Therefore, he was very depressed, but he thought that in the past, when Pei Wen was only there, he did not despise himself, and he talked with each other every day, which was quite polite - if I had left Pei Wenyue that day, with his current status, how could I have to give me a county order, right? It's a pity that Pei Shenlong can't see the end, and with the situation at the time, he will definitely refuse to return south with him......
So, do you want to find an opportunity to invest and rely on Pei Wenyue?
Jian Dao really has the heart to invest in Pei for a long time, but he doesn't have the guts...... However, the world is in chaos, Jin and Zhao are competing for power, and the outcome is unpredictable, and he once thought about leaving a way back for himself. So when he heard Yang Qing say that he knew Pei Gai, after a little thought, he bent down, lowered his voice and said to him: "I can indulge you." If you return to Chang'an, if you can see Pei Gong's face again, you must greet me, just say that the contract has been broad for a long time, Jian often wants to look at Pei Gong's demeanor that day, but unfortunately he can't obey him. ”
Yang Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
Immediately, Jian Dao led Yang Qing out of the camp and sent him to the shore of Qinshui, and then waved goodbye. He took care of Yang Qing: "The Jin people have broken the ice upstream, you can cross south from here, and you must avoid the sentinels sent by the state and county, if it is obtained by our army, that is, I will not be able to save it." ”
Yang Qing thanked him for his kindness, and then covered his ass and rolled down the riverbank. He slipped in two steps, and managed to flee to the other side, already covered in chaff—one armor off, one shirt off, and then bleeding from his hips—but he still fell to the ground, thanking God for his protection, and then stumbled all the way to the west in the dark......
The distance is not too far, but a few miles away, and soon I saw a fire in the darkness, it was Zhen Sui who led the army to cross the Qinshui, and according to Zhou Jin's words, faced the underwater camp to block the Zhao army's pursuit road - and at the same time ordered some soldiers to go forward to dig through the ice.
As soon as Yang Qing approached the Jin camp, he was discovered by the patrol soldiers, and when he saw that it was Yang Budu, he hurriedly helped him to see Zhen Sui. It was the middle of the night, but Zhen Sui hadn't slept yet, and sat alone in the tent sulking.
Zhou Jin, Wang Tang and other generals were also worried that General Zhen would win a hundred battles, almost the first setback, and what would he not think about, after retreating to Qinnan, he comforted him with clichés such as "victory and defeat will be common". Zhen Sui just waved his hand and said that you all go down and rest, and I will sit here tonight to prevent the army from coming to steal the camp.
He was not discouraged by defeat at one time, Zhou Jin, Wang Tang and others did not know that he Zhen had already gotten up from defeat after defeat. When he was a teenager in his hometown in Tianmen County, his ancestors and grandchildren for several generations repeatedly raised anti-flags - from anti-Han to anti-Wu to anti-Jin - and were also broken by officers and soldiers again and again, and at most lost 12 games in a row in mid-January...... Defeating battles was a daily routine for him, but winning battles seemed to be an experience that only after returning to Jin and even following Pei Gai.
Therefore, if he loses the battle, he can't hurt Zhen Sui's mind at all, what he hates is why the old man fell for the trick of the slave today? In retrospect, the defeat of the peach leopard was quite suspicious - the enemy was twice the strength of the army, and on the plain, he only knew how to attack his own army, and only divided a few hundred troops to attack on the flanks - after crossing the Qin, Shi Le only led hundreds of cavalry to appear suddenly, obviously the whole army collapsed, and he had to shoot his own arrow first...... This temptation is too obvious!
If he hadn't been proud of his repeated victories, and then coveted Shile's first-class "prey" in the world, he wouldn't have fallen into his trap at all, and he would even have the opportunity to completely turn the tide of the battle. Could it be that the old man has eaten too much fat meat recently, and the lard is confused? No, I want to quit, I want to lose weight!
He sat alone in the tent, and his mind repeatedly flashed back to the entire battle during the day, and he deeply felt the strength of the Zhao army, which was only seen in his life. The main thing is that tens of thousands of troops, feinted for more than ten miles without collapsing, and even roared and scattered in Qinbei, but soon they were able to counterattack in whole columns...... If it had not been predetermined, Schler himself would not have been able to do this; But even with all the prerequisites, Zhao Jun's organizational strength is many times stronger than the Hu soldiers he encountered in the past.
Shile has been flowing in Henan for a long time, and once he crosses the river and goes north, his power will expand instantly, and there is indeed a reason for it - no wonder the Metropolitan Governor wants to see the slave as a great enemy!
was thinking about it, and suddenly reported that Yang Qing had returned, Zhen Sui couldn't help but be surprised and happy-he thought that Yang Qing was dead, and he was still thinking about how to explain it to the Metropolitan Governor in the future--urgently ordered Yang Qing to enter the Hajj. Later, when I raised my eyes, I saw that the appearance of this Yang Governor was really too embarrassed - not to mention that he had no armor, he was dressed in cloth clothes, his hair was messy, and there were blood stains on his face (in fact, it was blood spurting out of Guo Quan's wounds...... It feels like you're just one step away from a dead body!
Zhen Sui hurriedly got up and stepped forward, grabbed Yang Qing, stopped him from kneeling and bowing, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Yang, is the army after your break all wiped out?" How can you escape alone? ”
Yang Qing saw Zhen Sui's face, and couldn't help crying loudly: "The six hundred athletes in our department have all anointed the blades of the thieves!" Then he began to make up nonsense, saying that his war horse fell down with an arrow, and pressed himself underneath, and he was out of breath for a while, but fortunately in the dark night, the army could not find it, and did not make up the knife; It wasn't until late at night that he woke up, so he took off his armor and searched for the unbroken ice, and escaped from the water......
In fact, there are a lot of flaws in his words, but although Zhen Sui is shrewd, he is not in the mood to inquire carefully in the face of such a comrade - besides, some people are fatal, but they can crawl back in the pile of dead people who have been wiped out by the whole army, and there is really no reason to talk about it.
Zhen Sui hurriedly took off his fur coat, wrapped Yang Qing around his body, and then ordered Qu to help him down, and called the doctor to come to the good life for diagnosis and treatment - Yang Qing froze to the point of fever, and he was seriously ill, and almost absent from the subsequent battle of Hanoi, not to mention it for the time being.
Let's say that Zhen Sui didn't wait for the dawn, so he beat the drum and beckoned the soldiers to get up, hurriedly pulled out the camp and went west, until he ran to the foot of Yewang City, and then re-set up camp and set up the village. He refused to enter the city—for fear that he would not be able to explain the reason for his defeat in front of Li Ju, and that he would be somewhat embarrassed—and only used the forts to protect the city, echoing each other's horns.
Zhao Jun was a step slower to move, unable to catch up with Zhen Sui, and when he approached Yewang, Shi Le heard that the Jin camp had been established, so he was also five miles away and set up camp. In order to set up an ambush to annihilate Zhen Suisuo's department, a part of the soldiers and horses who went north to Duqin was a feint, Li Juchu rushed out of the north of the city, crossed the Qinshui to protect the Taihang Pass, and saw this, but left hundreds of soldiers to consolidate the pass fortifications, and then in the afternoon of the same day, he also retreated to Yewang City.
Shi Le took advantage of the momentum of victory and went to attack the Jin base, but he could not overcome it, and he wanted to divide his troops to cut off internal and external contact, and the main force went to attack the wild king, but he was also defeated. Li Ju stubbornly defended the wild king and did not have the confidence to resist the Zhao army head-on, and after Zhen Sui's defeat, his morale was frustrated, and he could only hold on for the time being, but could not take the initiative to attack. In this way, the two sides once again formed a situation of confrontation.
At the same time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Yellow River was completely frozen.
——————————
When the news of Zhen's defeat reached Luoyang, the government and the opposition were deeply frightened.
In fact, although Zhen Sui himself did not turn defeat into victory, after all, the battle was more ugly, he would not take the initiative to play to the Luoyang court, but only ordered Sima Xingwen Chang'an, and reported and apologized to Pei Gai. It's just that this news can't be blocked at all, and after Li Ju learned about it, he immediately went to Luoyang and asked for urgent reinforcements to reinforce Hanoi.
Li Shihui's concerns are not without reason, his headquarters is less than 20,000 horses, plus Zhen Sui, it is only 30,000; In terms of the Zhao army, the soldiers of the original Zhou County, Huai County, and Shanyang were slightly inferior to Yewang, and Shi Le sent the main force of 40,000 to help, the total number of which was more than twice that of the Jin army. Zhen Sui's subordinates suffered setbacks and low morale, but on the contrary, Shi Le's personal expedition gave Zhao Jun a shot in the arm, and the situation was undoubtedly quite unfavorable to the Jin side.
Moreover, Li Ju also hoped that Zu Ti would be able to personally unify the army to the north, and fight a decisive battle with Shile in the Hanoi area, once he could defeat Shile head-on, his morale would be greatly boosted, and the people's hearts would be greatly reassured, and then he would take advantage of the situation to win Hanoi, and even enter Ji County, it would not be difficult.
But he didn't expect that Zu Shizhi was infected with wind and cold, and he was strong to command military operations, which caused him to be sick on the couch and difficult to get up...... Although there are many generals, there is no one to command the whole army.
On the one hand, this is because Zu Ti's military system is too extensive, he is always in charge of his affairs, and all the generals under his command lead soldiers and horses, but there is no one who can lead the army on his behalf in terms of name, qualifications, and prestige - more importantly, if he changes someone else, the court will not be at ease. Unlike Pei Gai, who reorganized the three armies in Guanzhong, awarded military ranks, and designated subordinates, if he was tied up by something, Pei Wei, Tao Kan, and even Guo Mo all had the qualifications to lead on their behalf.
Zuna therefore suggested that Zu Yue could be recalled from Yanzhou to replace his brother's generals. Yin Qiao objected to this proposal, saying: "Now that the river is frozen, the thieves can cross Henan directly, if I urgently increase my troops in Hanoi, lest the thieves send troops south, or force Luoyang, or to Yanzhou." Luoyang City is high and dense, and the forbidden army stays behind, so it can be safe for the time being; However, if the ancestors are returned, Yanzhou may be lost! ”
Although Zu Yue has never fought any big battles before, after all, his name is there, plus he is Zu Li's brother, Yanzhou guards will not dare to disobey his orders, then he guards Yanzhou, relatively rest assured, if he is recalled, who will suppress Yanzhou?
Cai Bao, the assassin of Yanzhou in the past, has already been dismissed, if he is a new person, even if his ability and reputation surpass Cai Bao, when he first takes office, he may not be able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of various counties and countries. Besides, although Zhou Jian's rebellion is peaceful - that guy was captured by Xu Gong in a battle, and he is being escorted to Luoyang, waiting to be executed - the situation in Yanzhou is unstable, the foreign army is unusable, and the situation has been revealed, and the personnel arrangements can no longer be easily changed at this time.
So Zu Na recommended Zu Lian again, but he was unanimously opposed - although Zu Lian is the son of Zu Li, he is too young after all, and he has been in Luoyang for a long time, and his temperament is also understood, and his talent is less than half of his father's, and he lacks the ability of a general.
In the end, Liang Fen said: "Hanoi must rush, and there is no room for loss; And as Yin Shangshu said, the river is frozen, and the thieves can enter Henan. At this time, the imperial court has soldiers but no generals to control, and one person must look at the overall situation and plan reasonably. Let's ask the world, apart from the hussar general, who is the big Sima? ”
What he meant, hurriedly summoned Pei to come to Luoyang, and was responsible for the war against the Guanzhong army-"If the Guanzhong army comes, I'm afraid it won't be in a hurry; If Da Sima is sent to ride lightly and lead the Chinese army, it will not take half a month to arrive. ”
Zuna and Xun Group and others naturally objected to this, but Zuna's intentions were very strong, and Xun Group was still hesitant - Xun Taizhang certainly didn't want Pei to come to Luoyang and make new achievements, but at the same time, he was also worried that the Qian army would really cross the river and approach Luoyang, and God knows if there would be any demon moths, leading to another "Yongjia Rebellion......
So Liang Fen simply played Sima Ye and begged the Son of Heaven to decide. Sima Ye immediately sent an edict and ordered Pei Da Sima to travel thousands of miles and go east to King Qin.
