Chapter 60, Night Attack on Jinji

Half a day after the war, the Jin army returned to the camp, and Pei should count today's merits, with Guo Yu as the first.

Zhen Sui was not angry in his heart, but there was no reason to refute - after all, it was Guo Yu who defeated the enemy first, even Yao Yizhong could force Guo Rong to retreat step by step, but it was he Master Zhen who was withstood by Shi Hu to the death, and the results were the few. This bad luck bumped into a hard ballast, and the number of lives is like this, there is nothing to say.

So he patted Guo Yu on the shoulder and praised loudly: "Xiao Guo fought well, he lived up to my day in Hedong, taught Yu Ru every day, and finally got the charm of my soldiers." ”

Yao Yizhong, Liu Guang and the others pouted secretly, but Guo Yu followed him head-on, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he had to smile and give up.

Immediately discussing the strategy of fighting again the next day, Pei Gai said: "In the coming day, the cavalry can be redeployed to the right, or it can have the effect of taking the enemy by surprise." Then he asked Guo Mo: "Sidao, in Yiqing's opinion, can you break the karma tomorrow?" ”

Guo Mo replied: "The minister thinks that our army will be stronger if it wins, and it will be discouraged if it is defeated, and it will be able to break the karma in three days at most." However, ......" suddenly changed the conversation: "If Shi Hu knows that he can't win, the deep ditch is high, and he doesn't fight with me, it will not be easy to overcome." ”

Zhen Sui said with a smile: "If he doesn't fight, he won't fight, and he can consume grain." There are not a few grains imported from Hedong to Linfen and Jiangyi, and I don't believe that the slaves can consume us. ”

Guo Mo shook his head: "If Jinyang sends reinforcements, or if Shangdang comes to An, then our army will be outnumbered, and it will be difficult to win." ”

Pei Gai said: "If Jinyang has more spare strength, Shi Hu will not stop these 20,000 people." As for Shangdang Yu'an...... he glanced at Guo Yu and said, "You can ask Li Fuzun to send troops to patrol in front of Taihang Mountain to tie him down." ”

Guo Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to write a book for the governor of the capital, and ask Uncle to do it according to his orders." ”

Li Ju was originally a subordinate of Zu Ti, and he was in the Kanto region, so theoretically, he could not obey Pei Gai's orders unless Pei Gai first obtained permission from the imperial court. But back and forth, and waiting for the imperial court to allow it, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time, and I am afraid that the fighter plane will be delayed, so Guo Shengjie took the initiative to express his position, saying that I wrote to my uncle and asked him to obey his orders.

- After all, it was just a bluff in front of Taihang Mountain, and the Hanoi army didn't need to take a step out of the county boundary, even if there was no order from Pei Gai or even the imperial court, Li Ju was arbitrary, it was still within the scope of his rank, and it was not too much.

Pei Gai nodded: "So, there is a labor festival." Then he muttered for a while, and said to the generals: "Thinking about it, Shi Hu really has no way to defeat me, and he can only fight, defend, and take three ways." If he goes to war, as General Guo said, it will be broken by me within three days; He will not be able to hold the stronghold; And if he goes......"

Zhen Sui interjected: "If he wants to escape, I will chase and try to cut off that kid's head!" ”

Pei Gai shook his head and said, "No, our army is outnumbered, and there is still Pingyang Jiancheng on the side, how can we bypass Pingyang and chase after the Qianjun army?" If he retreats, I will turn back and attack Binh Duong. Since the morale of the Hu army has been depressed, he can summon the people from all over the world to join the grain and grain, and make Liu Yao think that I am constantly transferring reinforcements from Guanzhong, and he may be able to go down with one drum while he is in fear. ”

Then he waved his hand and said, this is a matter for the future, let's defeat Shi Hu in front of us first.

——————————

As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, there was a report from the Malay, saying that the army had risen from camp and fled to the north, and Pei Gai urgently ordered Liu Guang to lead the fine cavalry to chase after him. After Shi Hu ordered Guo Rong to lead the army, Liu Guang had no gaps to take advantage of, so he followed Pei Gai's instructions before leaving, and hung far behind the Qianjun army, until three days later, he saw them drive into Yong'an City, and then collected the troops back.

Previously, he naturally sent from time to time to return from the cavalry, saying that the army was indeed drifting away, not like a false retreat. Moreover, I have scattered my cavalry all over the basin, and if I find any movement of the enemy, I will be able to detect it at the first time, and report it to the governor.

Only then did Pei Gai move the camp back to the south of Pingyang City, continue to build siege equipment, and as he said before, he sent people to Sixiang to put up a list of grain, and used grain and grass to lure the people to gather to help the momentum.

All the people who followed the sound were under the supervision of the soldiers, gathered behind the camp to drink gruel, and for every hundred people, they set up a banner and warned them: You can eat and drink until the city of Pingyang is broken, but if you leave the range of ten zhang from this banner, then you will not have your share of the porridge.

Pei Xiong asked Pei Gai in private: "If you want to make the people a false soldier, in order to scare the guts, you can divide the troops into four towns to search and capture, why do you have to give up porridge?" Although there is still plenty of grain at present, if the people of various townships gather, tens of thousands, it will be difficult to support them after all. ”

Pei Gai smiled and explained to him: "Since Liu Yuan's rebellion, Hu Pingyang is nearly ten years old, and the Jin people are looking forward to the king but the king is not coming, I am afraid that my confidence will fall early, and I am willing to be a slave of Hu Han, then I will get Pingyang, and it will be very difficult to regain the hearts of the people." Now the porridge is to appease the hearts of the people first, so even if I can't get Pingyang this time and am forced to retreat temporarily, the people's hearts should also return to Jin a little, and they can't be used by Hu Kou.

"Liu Cong's father and son have dried up and fished in recent years, when I came, I watched the people of Pingyang, most of them are extremely poor, and even hungry, if they don't give relief, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stay in autumn, then if I take Pingyang, most of the people will starve to death, and there will be a county, what good will it be?"

Then his face sank, and he added: "And in Pingyang County, most of them are my Jin people, and I am a Jin official, how can I search for my own people and make them cry out of the fields?!" ”

I don't know if Pei Xiong understood it, but he retreated.

The siege equipment was roughly completed in five days—only a dozen ladders and two crashing cars, and after all, Pei should have come in a hurry, without any craftsmen—and at the same time, there were six or seven thousand people gathered, and dozens of new flags were erected behind the camp. So Pei Gai instructed the generals to rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, they would storm Pingyang City.

Who wants to sleep until midnight and suddenly hears the sound of golden drums. Pei Gai got up and asked loudly, "Is it my camp that is disturbing, or is the Hu army coming out of the city?!" ”

"Camp howling" was a common occurrence in these years, but Pei Gai rarely encountered it, because only the troops with loose organization and even panicked and frightened soldiers could inexplicably set off a large chaos in several battalions because of the slightest disturbance. Pei Jun is well-trained, and he is full of confidence in each other, so it is theoretically impossible to fight.

But we also have to guard against something else, such as a rebellion...... At the extreme, the celestial phenomena are abnormal, such as solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, comets, meteors, landslides, and earthquakes, no one can pat their chests to guarantee that my soldiers and horses are absolutely as stable as Mount Tai, and the heavens and the earth can be motionless when they collide.

After only a few breaths, I heard Pei Xiong report outside the tent: "It was Hu Kou who came to attack at night, and the guards were aware of it, and they were in a fierce battle." ”

Pei Gai couldn't help laughing and said, "Liu Yao, is this trying to make a dying fight?" So he got up in his cloak and went out of the tent to see. Pei Xiong hurriedly took a step forward, blocked in front of Pei Gai, and said, "The battle situation is not clear yet, the lord is still wearing neat armor, and then come out." ”

Pei Gai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, having Qing here is better than triple strong armor." Then he asked loudly, "Who is the guard tonight?" ”

Immediately, a voice came from the darkness: "It's the last general Yang Qing." ”

Yang Qing was originally Zhou Jin's subordinate, Zhou Jin defeated Xia Yang, lost his troops and lost his generals, Yang Qing did not die, but because he always followed the side, and several leaders on his head died in battle, he was able to climb steadily, and leaped from a small platoon commander to a deputy. Immediately, Pei should have reorganized the army in Chang'an, in order to make the generals not specialize, for Zhou Jin's kind of team that was originally sparse and la, and for Zhen Sui, a team that could not be moved lightly for the time being, it was also partially reassigned, and Yang Qing was thus subsumed into Zhen's subordinates, and he had just arrived in Hedong with his headquarters two months ago.

In front of the camp tonight, he was ordered to guard it. Yang Qing was quite satisfied with this work, although he was a little tired, but since he didn't sleep all night, he would have to make up for sleep when he attacked the city tomorrow, and there was definitely no need to shake the strong city with this half of the city that I led. Who would have thought that it was only in the middle of the night, he was yawning, and suddenly heard a strange noise outside the camp, so he ordered the soldiers to be on strict guard, and found that the Hu army was attacking in a big way.

When Pei should come out of the account to ask, Yang Qing had already repelled the attack of the Hu army once, and at the same time, other Jin troops also came to help one after another, his heart was more steady, so he immediately retreated and rested for a while. Just when he heard Pei Gai's inquiry, he hurriedly replied: "It's the last general Yang Qing." Then he rushed to Pei Gai, knelt down on one knee, and stated: "The Hu army is very numerous, but its spirit is cowardly, and the last general will let someone release a round of arrows, and he will retreat." Although he still patrolled dozens of feet away and did not leave, General Guo had already commanded in front of the base, and most of the governors could have no worries. ”

Pei Gai listened to the shouts in the distance, the sound of fighting, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and couldn't help but wonder: "Attacking my camp at night, since you should be able to bring the strong soldiers, how can most of the tired soldiers come together?" Isn't there a trick that can't be done? ”

However, it was pitch black outside the camp, and it was really difficult to detect the enemy's movements at this time, so Pei Gai had no choice but to wait for news from Guo Mo and other generals in front of the camp.

After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Liu Guang suddenly strode over, arched his hand towards Pei Gai from a distance, and said: "The north of the city is exploring the Malay report, the city gate is opened urgently, there is a large force of Hu troops, and the chariot is added, and the torch is hurriedly headed to the northwest!" ”

The Jin army was limited in number, and the city of Pingyang was so vast that it was impossible to completely block the gates, so they could only set up a fortress in the south of the city, and the rangers patrolled in the north and west directions—the east was Fenshui, Pei should not bring boats, and there was no far outpost—to detect the movement in the city at any time. So just as the Hu army was attacking the camp head-on, suddenly the north gate was wide open, and soldiers and horses and even chariots escaped, and the Jin cavalry hurriedly returned to report to the Shangguan Liu Guangyu, who was in a hurry to find Pei Gai in front of the big tent.

When Pei Gai heard this, he suddenly realized, so he squeezed his fist fiercely: "Liu Yao has escaped!" ”

It was obvious that the frontal attack on the camp was a false soldier, and Liu Yao took the opportunity to abandon the city and leave. You must know that there is still the little emperor Liu Heng in Pingyang City, as well as Liu Yao's family, he can't leave it easily, so there will be cars in the queue......

Nai ordered Liu Guang: "Qing can urgently summon cavalry, no matter how many, catch up first." He also sent the herald to inform Guo Mo of this matter, asking him to go out of the base with the whole army and force the gate of Pingyang City!

——————————

Liu Yao had already intended to abandon the city and leave, but in order to keep it secret, he only discussed it with Prime Minister Liu Jing and made a plan immediately.

If the Jin and Jin armies fought under the city on that day, and finally both were defeated and retreated, Liu Yao might have brought the matter to the public again, and even if someone objected—that was certain—he would have enough time to persuade him slowly, or suppress it, and then take the entire Hu and Han court, as well as forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses and their dependents, out of the city.

Because since the Jin and Jin armies retreated, it was estimated that they would not come again before the autumn harvest, so he had at least two months to plan in detail.

But since the Jin won and retreated, and seeing that the Jin army was cutting down trees and building ladders and planning to attack the city, it was impossible for Liu Yao to delay a little. So he only revealed the news to his cronies, and immediately ordered Liu Jing, Liu Yue, Taisan, Yang Yi and others to prepare secretly.

When will the Jin army prepare the equipment and materials and officially launch an attack on Pingyang City, Liu Yao is also a general of Hu Han, so it is naturally not difficult to make a prediction through various clues. So the night before the siege, he gathered all the generals, pretending to attack the Jin camp at night, and did a desperate fight, but ordered Wang Teng and Hu Yanshi to lead more than 20,000 soldiers, sneak out of the city, and directly take the enemy base, and agreed to kill the rest of the generals, and will also kill the ......

In fact, Liu Yao didn't plan to go out of the south gate to meet Wang Teng at all. Not long after the former army was sent here, the soldiers came to report, saying that there was a shout of killing from the south, and it should be a confrontation with the Jin people, so Liu Yao hurriedly served Liu Heng and Liu Cangzi Palace, led his cronies and generals, and opened the north gate, and fled to the northwest in a hurry.

Liu Guang summoned about 400 cavalry who moved quickly, and hurried out of the Jin base to chase Liu Yao. Twenty miles forward, he was able to catch up, but he saw Hu Jun entering Xiping City in a row—just one step away, and he couldn't reach it.

Xiping is a small military town in Pingyang, with 300 Hu soldiers stationed all year round. Liu Guang and even under the Xiping wall, shouted and scolded, and suddenly saw someone on the wall poking his head out and asking: "Listen to the voice of the king, isn't it Liu Guang, the commander of the former Great Sima (Liu Dan)?" ”

When Liu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked, "Who is in the city?" ”

The sky was still dark, and the shadows couldn't see the face at all, although the other party heard the voice and recognized Liu Guang, Liu Guang didn't seem to have any impression of the other party's voice.

Just listen to the man: "I don't want General Liu to be demoted today...... This is also because the emperor's younger brother is not virtuous, and the crown prince is persecuted, if the big Sima sees this, he would rather be killed! ”

Liu Guang listened, full of doubts, and said in his heart, where are you? After saying that Liu Yi was immoral, he replied that Liu Cang was persecuted, and he was clearly dissatisfied with what the two did; In addition, he also said that Liu Dan "would rather be killed if he sees this", which is to blame Liu Dan for offering the "Qingjun side" plan that day.

I couldn't help but raise my voice and ask, "Who are you?" Big...... Where is Liu Dan? ”

Only then did the other party report his name: "I'm Chen Yuanda." Then he said, "Da Sima has been dead for many days. ”

I think that Liu Dan instigated Liu Yi to join Liu Yao to go to the "Qingjun side", but Liu Cang returned in a hurry, and Liu Yao saw that he couldn't do it, which was actually equivalent to betraying Liu Yi. Although Liu Yao later deliberately kept the two in the army because of Liu Dan's old ministers and Chen Yuanda's virtues, and did not let them become Liu Cang's prisoners like Fan Long, Wang Yan and others, Chen Yuanda always had a knot in his heart. He also once lobbied for Liu Yao to persuade him to remove the power canal and send troops to help, but after Liu Yao entered Pingyang, he refused to be reinstated from his post and still had a meal in his shogunate.

After that, the two Liu competed, and Chen Yuanda also advised Liu Yao, but Liu Yao favored Taiwanese products and even Yang Yi, and completely took his words as a deaf ear......
