Chapter 35
Qiao Tai fled, and in the dark night, Lu Yan didn't dare to chase after him far away, so he and Dong Biao were divided into two, one to break through the west base, and the other to cooperate with Tao Kan to attack the south base. Overnight, the Hu soldiers outside the city on three sides were all broken by the Jin army, and the siege of Haoyang was completely lifted.
It's just that Qiao Tai's main force was not found, although there were no less than three thousand Hu troops killed and captured, but it is estimated that Qiao Tai still has six or seven thousand or even more soldiers and horses in his hands.
Judging Qiao Tai's whereabouts, Tao Kan said: "If it goes south and coincides with Liu Cang, needless to say, our army will rush south to pursue it." If he escapes to the west or returns north, he can order General Guo to divide an army to tie him up. Lest it go to the southwest and not far away, and still threaten Haoyang, then our army must not act rashly. β
So he stayed up until dawn, hurriedly sent a sentry to the city, and sent Guo Mo's army to ask him to be careful about Qiao Tai's movements. Pei Cailiu Mo Huaizhong and others, who had not recovered from his injuries, garrisoned Haoyang, and led his army to set up camp ten miles south of Haoyang, and at the same time ordered Tao Kan to still lead boats and boats down the river to block the Puban ferry and find an opportunity to deal with Dalicheng.
He was in the camp, anxiously waiting until near noon, when he suddenly probed the Malay newspaper that Qiao Tai had indeed fled to the southwest and set up a fortress, butβ"It has been broken by General Zhen!" Pei Gai was shocked when he heard this: "How is Zhen Sui here?!" β
He originally didn't expect Zhen Sui to deliberately take a detour to aid Haoyang in order to avoid Hu Jun's eyes and ears, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his meaning. As far as the art of war is concerned, Zhen Sui's move is wise, and it is not considered a violation of the general's order - if the front-line generals don't even have this bit of autonomy, then it really becomes a marionette, in the era of telegrams, telephones and even airplanes, the captain of a certain transport brigade wants to operate slightly, and half of the country is lost in an instant, not to mention Pei Gai today? Even if he pretends to use soldiers like a god, there is no right in the world, he doesn't dare to be so nonsense!
It's just that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, Zhen Sui acts like this, which is equivalent to letting go of Da Li, if Liu Cang attacks and captures Da Li, the battle situation will completely escape from Pei Gai's control, and it will become extremely difficult. If Dali can keep it, if there is a loss, although Pei should have to pay a certain amount of leadership responsibility, is Zhen Sui not responsible?
Pei Gai usually loves his subordinates, and hates the most people's actions, and always likes to take the responsibility on himself, but in the face of such a crisis, he can't help but pull down his face, and immediately ordered, ordering Zhen to hurry to unite the army, and must arrive before the afternoon Shen Shi must arrive without delay!
He planned to rest the soldiers and horses here, and when Zhen arrived, after a little reprimand, he ordered him to make meritorious service and rush south to save Dali City. Once Qiao Tai is broken, he can confidently and boldly transport grain and materials from the city of Haoyang to the army, and only after all preparations can he go south, in order to destroy Liu Cang's main force in one fell swoop......
Todd naturally followed Pei Gai's side, and from time to time he was ordered to run errands and go to the battalions to supervise the preparation work. Back and forth, he felt that his horse's legs were running thin - although the distance was not long, he could not rest. Sometime he came out of Liu Yetang's army, and suddenly saw a small group of Jin soldiers escorting a person over, and his general greeted him from a distance: "Brother Tao, go slowly!" β
Todler stopped his mount, glanced at the captured man, and saw that he had braided hair and leather clothes, and did not look like a Jin person, so he asked, "But if you have captured a spy and want to ask the governor of the capital to send him down?" β
Greeting Tao De's general, he is a team deputy, originally a Longshang Di person, and he is alone in the army - except for Yao Qiang in the Jin army, the established Di and Qiang have never been accepted, but if two or three people come sporadically, they will be assessed and accepted like a Jin person - I think that when Tao De followed the wanderer to tour the various Rong departments, he had seen Tao De several times, so he recognized it.
The deputy trotted to Todd Ma and reported: "It is true that he has won one person, but he claims to be not a Hu man, but a messenger of Tuoba Xianbei, and wants to see the governor of the capital......"
Todd frowned and said, "The Great War is resting, how can there be a Xianbei envoy here, so coincidentally?" Don't be an assassin of the Hu people...... Since Yun is a messenger, can there be official documents and letters? β
The deputy of the team said: "We also asked, but this person said that because he was chased by Hu Qi on the way, he was being captured, and he escaped alone, not only without official documents, letters, but also without tokens. I wanted to kill him, but he said that he was Brother Tao's old man, and he could ask to see Brother Tao first. β
When Todd heard this, he couldn't help but beat his horse over, and looked the man up and downβthis man was about seven feet tall, and he was still a strong man, and he was not very old, and he was only thirty at most, and his face was extremely ordinary, and he had no features to rememberβbut he was not impressed, so he asked, "I am Todd, and you say that I am my old man?" β
The man had his hands tied behind his back, glanced at Tao De, then lowered his head and said: "The villain's name is Fu Zhuzhen, and he is really not the old man of General Tao, but he is from Tuoba, but he has a relationship with General Tao, and ordered me to visit Pei Da Sima through General Tao." β
"What is your name?" Tao Dexin said that since he is a Tuoba envoy, he is naturally a Xianbei person, and I have never seen a few Xianbei people in my life...... Unless it's that guy.
Fu Zhuzhen replied: "The name is called Tuoba Tou, and his appearance is so and so, so and so and so and so ...... once said that he saved General Tao when he was in Jicheng, and there was also the life of Mr. Lu Zhifu......"
Todd heard the other party's description of Tuobatou's appearance exactly the same, and even if he believed a little, he ordered the deputy of the team: "But go with me to the big tent, and I will report to the governor." β
When he came to the door of the big tent, Todd turned over and dismounted, and only then did he enter the Huiyu, and suddenly remembered, and said to the deputy of the team: "But you can get off this person to tie up first...... After all, Fuzhu is really the messenger of Tuoba Xianbei, and the rope is tied and escorted to see Pei Gai, which is really too rude, and besides, now the tent and outside the tent are all guards, and they are not afraid that he will escape, nor will he be afraid of breaking out and hurting people.
So Fu Zhuzhen was freed from his bondage, and he stood quietly in front of the tent and waited. But after waiting for a while, he didn't see Pei Gai order the summons, and heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then several generals with helmets and armor turned over and dismounted on his side. One of them seemed to be very familiar with Pei's subordinates, so he greeted them one by one before he got off the horse, and then asked, "How is the Metropolitan Governor feeling at the moment?" β
There is a joke and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is usually moody, but when he hears the name of Governor Zhen today, he often frowns - Governor Zhen can be careful." β
The general took off his helmet, squeezed his facial features slightly, and said: "In this case, there is no need to report it first-there is a half moment before Shen Shi, and I will wait for a while, maybe the mood of the Metropolitan Governor will be better......" Then he turned his head, glanced at Fu Zhuzhen, and asked, "Why is this Hu'er here?" β
Someone next to him explained, saying that this person was not Hu, but Xianbei, who came to see the governor. Na Jiang snorted coldly: "Xianbei and Hu, what's the difference?" I think he must be a meticulous work of the Hu people, pretending to be Xianbei, and trying to assassinate the Grand Duke! Why don't you tie up? Or I'll ask him first. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhen's shoulder.
ββββββββββ
This will not be him, naturally it is the barbarian Zhen who followed.
Let's say that after Zhen Sui crossed the Shangluo River, he also marched westward, marched fifty miles, camped for a night, and was expected to arrive at Hulei under the city of Haoyang in the afternoon of the next day. However, when the village was pulled out again, it was not long before there was a report from the Malays, saying that twenty miles to the southwest, there was a Hu army stationed in the camp.
Zhen Suishang didn't know that Liu Cang's main force was going south, but it was just strange, why did the besieging Hu army divide a group of troops and horses to go down to the village so far away from Haoyang? After inquiring about the other party's situation in detail, Tanma replied: "Its troops are not enough, it seems that they are new to the army, the camp is not complete, and the army is under the banner of 'Left Cavalry General Joe'. β
Zhen said to Wang Ze casually: "Liu Cang sent this Qiao to the west, is it to prevent Guo Mo's department?" Since its base is not complete, we can kill it directly,......" Wang Ze said slowly-"This place is less than twenty miles away from Haoyang, so we know that our army is fighting Qiao Tai, and Liu Cang will send a large army from the city to kill it, and it will be there in a few moments." This trip is too dangerous, Governor Zhen should be careful not to fight in vain - it is better to go down to camp and wait for the Pinyang army to come, and it is advisable to advance and retreat together. β
Zhen Sui pouted and said: "When I was waiting in Luoxi, I didn't hear Guo Mo's news, so it can be seen that his army is still far away. And the order of the governor of the capital asked me to wait for the south and west to attack Hu Lei, if Guo Mo came to join the army and attack one point, it would be a violation of the general's order...... Since our army has crossed eastward, and there is a horse in front of us, since we know where Hu's army is, most of them also know that I am coming, don't I go to attack, the original underground camp, Liu Cang will not send a large army to attack? How can he go straight forward, take advantage of Qiao's unstable foothold, destroy it in one fell swoop, and then turn to the south, luring Liu Cang's army to chase after him, you can divide the siege of the city......"
Wang Ze advised: "The Governor of Dadu has an appointment period of five days, and he will attack Hu Lei, and now it will be four days, and there is still one day, how can he suddenly confront Hu and destroy the overall plan of the Metropolitan Governor?" β
Zhen Sui shook his head: "The momentum of the military struggle is changing rapidly, like you...... How can you win a battle? And the order of the Metropolitan Governor, Burning Feng five days later to attack Hu Lei, I only break the enemy in the field today, not his base, not to disobey the order. β
In this way, the whole army was ordered to march in a hurry, and it was directly approached by the camp of Qiaotai.
Although they came from afar, the soldiers were inevitably tired, but Qiao Tai's Hu army had fought fiercely for half the night, and then was busy going down the camp, and only had to rest a little at dawn, but they were whipped by the generals, driven up, and the whole army was arrayed, and the spirit was only more exhausted, and the stomach was full of resentment.
More importantly, the morale of the Hu army is about to drop to the bottom.
Morale and people's hearts are intangible and qualitative, and they are the most difficult to grasp, but in the eyes of famous generals, there are traces to follow after all. Originally, the Hu army was defending the stronghold, and the morale was quite high, but in the middle of the night, the fierce battle was not able to defeat the enemy, but it was forced to abandon the camp and retreat - especially the thousands of comrades who originally guarded the three large camps, which were equivalent to being completely abandoned - it was inevitable that there would be a serious sense of frustration. waited until he set up camp and rested for a short time, but he was reprimanded again, saying that the Jin people were coming, and they were killed from the west...... Under the city of Haoyang in the east, there was originally a Jin army, and now the enemy is also seen in the west, so aren't we caught by the two wings? Who knows when the Jin army from the east will arrive! In addition, Qiao Tai was surprised that it was not Guo Mo who came, but Zhen Sui, and his hesitation was inevitably invisible, affecting the soldiers around him, so Hu Bing was more timid.
In contrast, the morale of the Jin army was extremely high. Zhen Sui and Wang Ze both went to Dali, and trained the soldiers every day, and the big guys knew that the big war was imminent, and they were going to Haoyang to rescue the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor seemed to be in danger, but in fact, Zhizhu was in his hands, and this battle would definitely defeat the Hu army. Originally, I was worried that the casualties would be heavy if I stormed Hulai, but now I heard that Huxia Plain was set up in the village, and it was not complete, except for a few recruits who did not have enough experience in battle, the rest were enthusiastic.
If the long-trained pawn can see the hope of victory, the powerful impact and destructive power that will burst out in an instant will be very terrifying.
Zhen entrusted the task of coordinating the overall situation to Wang Ze, and he really led five hundred sharp soldiers, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed into battle first, tearing apart the array of the Hu army in an instant. For example, if a stone is thrown into the water, a series of ripples are formed and spread outward, and Hu Bing's courage is gradually stripped away by this ripple, and the array becomes more and more chaotic. Qiao Tai saw that the situation was not good, so he ignored the dissuasion of his cronies and went into battle to fight Zhen Sui in person - he knew that this was the only chance, if he could defeat or even kill Zhen Sui, there was still a possibility of turning defeat into victory, otherwise it would be overcome!
Qiao Tai knew that he had no reinforcements, Zhen Sui didn't know, for fear that the main force of the Hu army under the city of Haoyang would send reinforcements, and he was eager to break the enemy in front of him in the shortest time, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Qiao Tai's banner galloping towards him. In order to play to his strengths, he simply dismounted, raised his spear and killed Qiao Tai. Qiao Tai stabbed straight in the chest with a riding spear, and was opened by Zhen Sui's horizontal spear, and then the war horse jumped over Zhen Sui's side. Zhen Suisuo made the spear slightly shorter, but it was more flexible to use, and immediately turned the spear shaft, and smashed it down hard with his backhand towards Qiao Tai's back-
With a "snap", the spear shaft broke, and the blood in Qiao Tai's mouth immediately spurted wildly, and he didn't dare to circle the horse anymore, and directly knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and then fled diagonally to the desert. Zhen Sui wanted to get on the horse and chase after him again, but he was no longer in a hurry.
As soon as Qiao Tai left, Hu Junnai completely collapsed. Wang Ze still wanted to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, but was stopped by Zhen Sui, saying You forgot what you said, if Hu Jun sends most of the troops here, how will we deal with it? Gather your troops and go south to fight.
However, when the people gathered, Pei Gai's general order came, and Zhen Sui knew that Liu Cang had led the main force south one day...... Wang Ze hurriedly said: "In this way, Dali is in danger!" Zhen Sui also said: "I should rush back to rescue Dali, but why did the Metropolitan Governor want our army to go to meet him?" "Isn't this a waste of time?
Wang Ze glanced at Zhen Sui, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the Metropolitan Governor is not worried about Governor Zhen...... "You have already stabbed a basket, do the Metropolitan Governors dare to let you lead an army by yourself and act arbitrarily?"
Zhen Sui is depressed - this is purely providential, it doesn't mean that I planned improperly, or disobeyed the order, right? But if you can cut off Qiao Tai's head, and hang the head of the famous general of Hu Han on your waist to meet the governor of the capital, you will definitely have the merits and demerits, but now you are Qiao Taiyi, although I have killed more than a dozen enemy generals, they are all small roles, and the weight is not enough!
In desperation, he had to lead his troops to move closer to Pei Gai, and he and Wang Ze and others rode fast horses to see Pei Gai first-and specially brought the heads of more than a dozen Hu generals. Zhen Suizheng had nowhere to vent his anger - not complaining about himself, he didn't dare to complain about Pei Gai, he was complaining about God's injustice - and then saw that Fu Zhuzhen was really in front of the tent, and immediately sprinkled all his anger on this person's head.
So he stretched out his hand and swiped Zhu Zhen's shoulder, wanting to press the other party to the ground, and interrogate him carefully - if he really found a spy, he could reduce his guilt a little more, right? Unexpectedly, Fu Zhuzhen seemed to collapse his shoulders instinctively, and Zhen followed this trigger just after it failed, when he saw that Xianbei man bent his knees and was short, and then he stood up in an instant, and his shoulders shook, right between his chest and abdomen. Before Zhen Sui could react, Fu Zhuzhen had already grabbed his armor ribbon with his backhand, and then his arm exerted force, and it was an over-the-shoulder fall-
Zhen followed his huge body and immediately flew straight forward!
