Chapter 21, the head of the general

Zhen Sui and Wang Ze led their troops to Dali, and almost at the same time received the latest military order issued by Pei Gai's envoy to break through the siege.

In fact, there were three copies of Pei Gai's instructions, the first one was sent from Suyi when he heard that the Hu army had assembled troops and horses and had an attempt to cross to the west, and ordered that except for Pei Wei who led some soldiers and horses to stay in Jicheng, the rest of the troops were all assembled in Feng Yi's territory, or to Dali or to Pinyang, and at the same time collected the people, grain and materials of the various people in the territory to wait for further instructions.

The second directive was that after retreating to Haoyang, when Hu Kou had not yet come to attack, he ordered all the battalions assembled in Pinyang to be controlled by Guo Mo, and the battalions assembled in Dali to be controlled by Zhen Sui, and to be careful not to move lightly. If Hu Kou gathers the main force under the city of Haoyang and fights hard to attack the city, then when the smoke rises in the city, it will take five days to attack Hu Lei and attack from inside and outside.

Because the first two orders were not afraid of being intercepted by the Hu army, they were all official documents, written with pen and paper, and finally stamped with the seal of the Great Sima, and then clamped with two pieces of wood, tied with a ribbon, and the ribbon was sealed with mud. But the third order is purely verbal.

The oral order is not afraid of being intercepted by the Hu army, but at the same time, it is difficult to guarantee its authenticity, and it lacks legal effect. Therefore, the content of this order is very simple, and it does not contradict the first two orders, but only orders the messenger to give a detailed introduction to the main generals of Pinyang and Dali about the situation of the enemy and us, as well as the actual situation in the city of Haoyang - including troops, morale, materials, and how long it is estimated to be able to hold it. Finally, he ordered: "The Governor of Dadu will lure the enemy with his body, and shackle Liu Cang under the city of Haoyang, and when the time comes, the beacon smoke will be burned, and the battalions will follow the original plan, and strive to break through the Hu base, and must not be violated." ”

After hearing this, Zhen couldn't help but say to Wang Ze: "Does the governor still want to show weakness?" It seems that in the past, it was between Chenggao and Gongxian. Then he stiffened his neck and said proudly: "Why wait until all the armies arrive? Why five days? Stop us from leading the troops to the north, and we can break Liu Cang! ”

Wang Ze was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded: "The Hu army is nearly 100,000, and we are only waiting for 15,000 troops. Governor Zhen should not even Meng Lang, and should obey the orders of the metropolitan governor. ”

Zhen said casually, I'll just say this, I'm not stupid, do I really go out of the city to face an enemy six or seven times larger than myself? If I really have this certainty, I may not be able to let it go, it's not that I know that it won't work, and most of the governors won't let it, so I just brag a few words.

Then he said to Wang Ze: "In this case, the matter of guarding the city will be paid to you, and you can wait for the smoke of Haoyang." As he spoke, he ran out of the house.

So why did he go? Zhen Sui deliberately selected 500 elite soldiers from his own battalion, led dancing knives and guns all day long, and conducted high-intensity training. He knew that there would be a bloody battle soon, but there were only two battalions of more than two battalions under his command, unlike the Pinyang side, where tens of thousands of troops gathered, if he faced the enemy head-on, he would definitely not be able to grab the first credit. For now, it is to quickly train a strong army that can be ten or even a hundred, and when the time comes, throw the brigade to Wang Ze, and lead these 500 people straight to the enemy formation to take the head of the general!

Imagine that Guo Mo captured more than 10,000 captives to repay his merits, and he tied a string of Hu generals' heads around his waist, so who do you say is more majestic?

But he had only been training for a day, and he was called back from the school field by Wang Ze - "General Chen is here to help." ”

The so-called "General Chen" is naturally Chen An, the general of Longshang, although he was often called "General", in fact, there was no official military name, or this time he demoted Pei Gai, Pei Gai specially appointed him as the general of the captivity, and since then the name is justified.

On the same day, Pei should have returned to Jicheng from Yuzhong, Chen An went to pay homage, Pei should be comforted and awarded the title of general, but as for how to place Chen An, there is no draft for the time being. Because according to historical records, Chen An is very unruly, and not to mention national righteousness, he may not have any loyalty to the Jin Dynasty. In Pei Cai's mind, if you want to use Chen An, you must first strip him from Qinzhou, without local prestige, let alone help, maybe Chen An has to hold on to his thighs; Second, for the time being, they cannot be allowed to lead an army on their own, but must first be kept by their side for a period of time and then adjusted.

But then he heard the news that Peng Fuhu and Liu Hu were coming to disturb him, Pei Gai hurriedly took his troops straight to Anding, and then went to Feng Yi, temporarily leaving Chen An in Jicheng and listening to Pei Wei.

Pei Wei took advantage of Chen An's fame, recruited a lot of Longshang Jianyong, and so received the first military order, heard that Liu Cang was about to invade in a big way, on the one hand, he arranged for Xie Feng and other troops to lead the army to the east, on the other hand, he put Qin pawns in a single group of a battalion, and then gave half of it to Chen An, and said: "The general is lucky, only to return to the imperial court, and in this battle, if he can make meritorious service in front of the battle, there will be the hope of being promoted to the title of marquis!" ”

Pei Wei didn't know what Pei Cai's attitude towards Chen An was, he still had the intention of using Chen An to resist and restrain Zhen Sui, so he began to vigorously support him.

But who would have thought that Chen An left Jicheng and set off for the east, and after walking for a few days, he heard that the arrangements in Feng Yi County were like this, so he immediately turned south and went straight to Dali. After all, he and Zhen Sui had a friendship, and he was not familiar with other generals in Pei Jun, especially when Guo Mo had recruited him many times before, he shouldn't have it, and now let him run to Guo Mo's command to listen to it, he always felt a little dry and panicked on his face...... So, I'd better go help Zhen Sui.

Chen An led 2,000 Qinzhou soldiers to Dali, Zhen was overjoyed, and immediately took Chen An to the school field. Zhen Sui felt that Chen An was very similar to himself, he was accustomed to taking the lead and breaking through the formation bravely, and he must be willing to listen to and assist his plan. In fact, Chen An didn't think so, he hoped that Zhen would follow you to charge the battle by yourself and hand over these nearly 20,000 people to me...... But it was bound to be impossible to cross Wang Ze, so he had to grit his teeth and accept his fate.

But they had only been training for another day, and Wang Ze sent someone to summon him for the second time. Zhen Sui was a little impatient and asked, "Who is in Dali again?" If it weren't for General Chen, why would I go to greet him personally? ”

The answer that anyone wants to hear is-"It's Mrs. Sima who has arrived!" ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Xun Guanniang is in Chang'an City, one child is still young, she almost put all her strength on Pei Jian, and the other is based on the ancient motto of "outside the male lead, inside the female lead" - his father and mother often mentioned their orders like this before moving to Luoyang - and did not easily inquire about outside news, so they only knew that Hu Jun crossed west to invade Feng Yi, and thought that it was Tao Kan who was the emperor of Hu, and Pei should return to Chang'an to sit in the town in the near future.

It wasn't until Zhen sent his new daughter-in-law Liang into the city and settled down that he followed her husband's instructions and threw herself to worship Mrs. Sima. Xun Guanniang was taken aback - when did the barbarian get married? I don't even know...... He immediately went into the back hall and talked to Liang, asking her about her origin, her origin, andβ€”how did you follow Zhen Sui? When did you get married?

Liang has been in Qiang for a long time, and suddenly saw a dignitary, somewhat cramped, but he still had the courage to reply to Xun Guanniang's question as orderly as possible, and as he spoke, he brought it up: "I heard that Da Sima is in Feng Yi Yuhu, and he summoned Fujun to lead his division to help, and he sent me to Chang'an to settle ......."

When Xun Guanniang heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Has Da Sima arrived at Feng Yi?" What is the military situation at the front? "I don't know much about the specific battle situation of the Liang family, but Da Sima has arrived at Feng Yi, this is from my husband, and it should be correct.

So after sending the Liang family away, Xun Guanniang immediately called his family member Pei Fu and asked him to inquire in detail about the war situation in Feng Yi County. Pei Cai never mentioned that military and political affairs should be kept secret from his family, so Pei Fu quickly inquired about the truth, and when he was like a dirty place, he came to report to Xun Guanniang: "It's not good, it's not good, Da Sima was besieged in Haoyang City by the Hu Army!" ”

Xun Guanniang couldn't sit still anymore when she heard the news, and immediately entrusted Pei Jian to the nurse, and led more than 100 people from the Pei family to the north by car, crossed Weishui, and went straight to Dali. There was a part of the first transmission, Wang Ze hurriedly called Zhen Sui and Chen An over, and went out of the city to greet each other. Xun Guanniang was in the car, and asked Zhen Suidao through the curtain of the car: "How many days has General Zhen returned to Dali?" ”

Zhen replied casually: "It's been three days." ”

I heard Xun Guanniang's voice a little chilled: "Since you have been out of army for three days, when do you plan to set off and go north to rescue Haoyang?" ”

Before Zhen Sui could answer, Wang Ze interjected beside him and said: "The governor of Dadu has an order, so that we will be temporarily stationed in Dali, and we must wait for the number of Ran Feng from the Haoyang side before we can go to the rescue and attack the Hu army......"

Xun Guanniang lifted the curtain of the car with a "whoosh", and looked at Zhen Sui angrily: "Da Sima is surrounded, and you wait for his favorite general, but he pretends to be on call and can't advance, what is his intention?!" ”

Zhen Suixin said that Wang Ze answered you just now, why are you staring at me? Quickly dodging Xun's aggressive gaze, he turned his face to look at Wang Ze and said, "You look at this matter......

Wang Ze arched his hand and leaned over and said: "How dare the last general say anything, it is really the order of the metropolitan governor, and the last one will not dare to disobey ......"

Xun Guanniang snorted coldly: "I used to hear Zhen Sui Haoyong every day, I didn't want it to be all rumors, it turned out to be a coward!" If the king is in trouble, and the minister does not save him, he does not know that there is a word of shame in the world? What other faces stand in the world? Anyway, you can lie down, and I will lead these more than 100 children to rescue their husbands, and it is a big deal to die of martyrdom! ”

Wang Ze was shocked when he heard this, and was about to persuade him, but Zhen Sui suddenly raised his eyebrows, and scolded him with his halberd finger: "I said that I should rush forward and save the Metropolitan Governor!" The Metropolitan Governor relied on his own ability and wanted to contain the Hu army with the city of Heyang projectiles, so he ordered me not to wait for the order and not to save it, but as the so-called 'will be outside, the order of the Metropolitan Governor will not be affected', seeing that the lord is in trouble, how can there be any reason to retreat? ! Guo Mo's birdmen, maybe they are happy when they listen to the order, but I am different from them, I have been with the Metropolitan Governor since Xuzhou, I would rather cut off this head, and even if I ruin the matter of the Metropolitan Governor, I must not be in chaos from now on! ”

Wang Ze was dumbfounded and speechless when he scolded these words, and Xun Guanniang in the car next to him couldn't help but hesitate a little when she heard it...... Could it really be a plan set up by the husband who put himself in danger?

After Zhen Sui finished scolding Wang Ze, he immediately turned around and gave Xun a deep look: "The governor of the capital is in danger, and the lady must not follow suit, the lady is noble, please go into the city to rest." ”

Xun Shi opened his mouth and said, "I ......" was interrupted by Zhen Sui. Zhen Manzi patted his chest: "Madame, please relax, as soon as Madam enters the city, I will gather troops and horses, and I will go out of the city to the north today to save Haoyang." Whether it is victory or defeat, I don't care about it, but please ask Mrs. to see Zhen's loyalty. Zhen can have today, thanks to the promotion of the metropolitan governor, even if he dies for the metropolitan governor and gives this life to today, he will have no regrets, let alone complain about his wife! ”

Wang Ze was about to say something, but Zhen Suiyi shook his mouth and threw a look at him, which means: Hurry up and take Mrs. into the city first, don't you really plan to watch her run to Haoyang to die?

Wang Ze hurriedly ordered someone to guard the ambulance and invited the Xun family into the city to settle down. He was busy working here, and suddenly got a report, saying that Zhen Sui and Chen An's second general really ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and wanted to go out of the city!
