Chapter 58: Why is the general laughing?
The one who attacked Liu Cang was the Jin general Guo Yu.
Since Guo Yu entered the Lu Clan's Dock Fort, he was greeted by the Lu family, and even the old man Lu Hu trembled, supported by two beautiful maids, and came to meet the young general, thanking him for saving him. If you have children, I suggest to the old patriarch, should we dedicate Wei Zhong to General Guo? Lu Hu shook his head: "Sell, sell, and wait for someone to come from the pass before you can offer it." β
Wei Zhong mainly offended the Pei family, so we naturally have to dedicate it to Pei Da Sima's subordinates; General Xiao Guo is from Luoyang, and if he is given it, I am afraid that he will not be able to sell it for a good price.
The disciple hesitated and said: "Since Wei Zhong is bound, he is on a hunger strike, and the water and rice refuse to enter. If you don't sacrifice it in a hurry, if you die, I'm afraid that the corpse is not as valuable as the living......"
Lu Hu glanced at the disciple: "I don't allow him to die, if he dares to die?" Can't you do such a trivial matter? β
The Lu family is also the tyrant of a county, and in troubled times, he built a dock fort, with a natural dungeon and a water prison, all kinds of lynching tools, and torture methods emerge in endlessly. How do you usually clean up those mud legs? If you meet a scholar or a bureaucrat today, will you be soft-handed? He doesn't eat or drink, won't you pinch your nose and stuff it? It's easy to kill someone, but what's so difficult about letting him beg for death with a hanging sigh?
The children took the order and went without mentioning it, and said that Guo Yu on the one hand assigned soldiers to help guard the fort, and on the other hand, he also asked the Lu family to send people to investigate all aspects of the county's intelligence. The Lu family feasted on Guo Yu, but Guo Yu said that the war was blazing and refused to drink; arranged a comfortable bedroom, asked Guo Yu to rest, and specially sent a beautiful maid to warm the seat, but was also pushed out by Guo Yu. Guo Yuxin said, this battle is not over yet, who has such a mood? How can my energy be wasted on a woman?
Let's say that the Liu Cang brothers returned to Hedong during the day, and even if the Lu clan found out, they urgently reported to Guo Yu that they knew - but they didn't know who it was who crossed to Hedong, they only knew that Jin Kang opened the city to greet him, and he should be a big man. Guo Yu ordered to continue the investigation - he is in the city, I don't dare to attack, if I go out of the city, then I may have a chance to kill the last one.
In the middle of the night, Liu Cang and Jin Kang went out of the city to the ferry, and when the news came, Guo Yu immediately gathered his troops and horses, left LΓΌ's Wu Fort, and sneaked to Pujin. At that time, the Hu soldiers fled all over the mountains, and Liu Cang, Jin Kang and others focused all their attention on the front river bridge, and did not notice that a Jin soldier quietly approached from the side and rear in the dark. Guo Yu saw that under the light of the fire, the two generals of the Hu army immediately formed a formation, one of them repeatedly bowed down on the horse, but the other just turned his head from side to side and never bowed his head - this must be an important person!
He was afraid that if he got closer, he shocked the Hu people, after all, the opponent was strong, and there were only 500 people under his command, so he might not be able to kill the general in the chaotic army. So he quietly took out his bow, took a look, and shot an arrow, despite the fact that he was still a hundred paces awayβand the young man had this confidence.
Liu Cang was looking at the river bridge, and suddenly the golden wind sounded in his ears, he was also a veteran general who had been in battle for a long time, and in danger, he instinctively shrank his neck - the arrow hit the helmet.
Liu Cang's surprise is not trivialβhow did the Jin people cross the river? And when did you go around behind me? Oh, by the way, there is also a Jin Kou in Lujiawu Fort......
He was suddenly attacked, and he was still in a daze, but Jin Kang next to him reacted quickly, and quickly reached out to grab the reins of Liu Cang's horse, and shouted: "And protect His Highness to return to Pusaka in a hurry!" Pulling Liu Cang, he rushed away in the opposite direction of the arrow.
Seeing this, Guo Yu immediately commanded the soldiers to shout to cover up, Hu Bing was just in a hurry, no one dared to stop him, and they all fled with Liu Cang and Jin Kang, and people trampled on each other along the way, and there were countless casualties - not too many were really killed by the Jin soldiers.
Guo Yu pursued and killed until the foot of Puban City, and when he saw that General Hu had already entered the city, the city gate was immediately closed, and all the Hu pawns who were left behind were ignored, and they were scattered all over the wilderness. Only then did he stop his subordinates, turn around and kill back to Pujin again.
At this time, the morning light was faint, the sky was about to brighten, and I saw that there were not many Hu soldiers fleeing on the bridge, but there was a Jin general, riding a high-headed horse to step on the bridge, leading his subordinates to kill and defeat Hu. Guo Yu shouted head-on: "I am the commander of the ancestral hussar to supervise Guo Yu, who is the general of which battalion under the command of Da Sima is here?" β
The Jin general was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Guo Yu, but did not speak. On the contrary, a person in front of him suddenly jumped over and shouted: "The master is Zhen Sui, do you know my name?!" β
When Guo Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, isn't this Zhen Sui right away? It turns out that this is the ......
In fact, the immediate general is Chen An. Last night, before Zhen Sui left the Hu army's tent, he went straight to the ferry, and when he saw the Hu people on the way, he slashed them with a knife, and if he met the Jin soldiers, he shouted: "Zhen is here, Hugh has to block the road!" "If you avoid it later, you will also be slapped on the ground with a knife on the back. In this way, he went straight to the ferry, and then ran across the river bridge, and no one dared to stop him, regardless of Jin Hu. Chen An straddled the horse, led his troops to follow Zhen Sui, and easily arrived in Hedong.
Let's say that Guo Yu heard that Zhen Sui had signed up, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute - Zhen Sui's status is much higher than him, and he is in the same column as his uncle Li Ju - Zhen Sui didn't ask him how many soldiers he brought, and said: "Can you see Liu Cang?" β
When Guo Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "What General Zhen asked, is it not a pseudo-prince?" The last general did not know this man, nor did he see his banner. Zhen Sui said: "He is still in Hexi, but I can't find any trace of him, I think he escaped to Hedong...... You are in Hedong, have you seen other generals of the Hu army? β
There are many generals who have killed Hu this night, but they are basically partiality at the level of supervision, to be honest, even Lu Songduo, who was captured by Chen Ansheng, has a higher gold content than Zhen Sui's severed head...... So I was really unhappy in my heart, and when I saw Guo Yu, I asked him if he had seen General Hu Jun and could kill the master.
Guo Yu replied: "The last general came here last night, and saw that there were two Hu generals who immediately crossed the port, gathered the remnants of the army, and were killed by the last general in a round, and they all escaped to Puban City. β
Zhen Sui was overjoyed when he heard this, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Guo Yu's shoulder, and asked repeatedly, "Where is Pusaka?" You lead the way, and the lord will go and take the heads of the two Hu chiefs! β
But before the words fell, suddenly a fast horse galloped from the pontoon, and the knight immediately shouted: "The governor has an order, suspend the pursuit of the enemy!" When Zhen Sui, Chen An and the others heard the sound, they all turned their heads to look, and just in time to see the horse stumbling forward, and they flipped the herald off the saddle with a fight......
The river bridge is not strong, and logically speaking, it should have been destroyed a long time ago when countless feet on both sides of Jin and Hu trampled on it last night...... Fortunately, Liu Cang seized the ferry and set up camp in the east of the river, and in order to protect the back road, the troops were temporarily cut down to repair and reinforce, so that they could support it for so long. But yesterday evening, there were already many bridges that had been trampled to pieces, and a pontoon bridge more than four miles long, if viewed from the air, was as if it had been gnawed by wild dogs, and there were gaps everywhere - fortunately, most of them were not wide, and they could be crossed in a vertical leap. Now the knight came to give the order, and ran in such a hurry that the horse's hooves fell, and another bridge was torn apart, and the mount hissed, and its head down, and it was plunged into the raging rapids......
The herald was quite agile, and he grabbed the bridge in time to escape with his life. The nearby Jin soldiers hurriedly came to the rescue, but only then did they pull the unlucky herald up, and suddenly heard a cracking sound, and the pontoon bridge cable on the south side suddenly snapped, connecting more than ten nearby bridge plates, and threw them into the angry waves of the Yellow River!
The herald crouched on the bridge deck, turned his head to look back, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The Jin soldiers on the bridge hurriedly dragged him up and rushed towards the east bank - who knows if this bridge will collapse again! Zhen Sui, Chen An and others on the shore couldn't help but look at each other - let's count this as ...... Cut off from the West Bank?
Or Zhen Sui reacted quickly, in order to soothe the hearts of the generals on the east coast, he actually looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha~~" Although Guo Yu is young, he will be funny, and asked: "Why is General Zhen laughing?" β
Zhen Sui stretched out his hand and pointed at the river: "If the bridge breaks when the old man crosses this bridge, won't it overturn into the river and there will be no bones?" "To tell the truth, Master Zhen knows water, the problem is that his hometown doesn't have such a thick river at all, let alone such a turbulent water flow-" It can be seen that the old man is really ......" Fortunately, he was not too carried away, and when he thought about it, he changed his words in time: "This is God to protect the governor, and I want the master to come to Hedong to capture and kill Liu Cang to sacrifice the first army!" β
Then he smiled at Chen An: "I said earlier that the Governor of Dadu has a mandate of heaven, but you still don't believe it, isn't it the will of heaven to see this bridge today?" β
Chen Anxin said don't slander good people with empty mouths and white teeth, when did you say that the Metropolitan Governor has a destiny? If I had heard this, how could I not agree with it, and say that I did not believe it? Just as he was about to explain, Guo Yujiu was still in Luoyang, and his political sensitivity was stronger, so he hurriedly corrected: "General Zhen has lost his words, this is the omen of the destiny of heaven in my Jin." β
As he spoke, the herald was finally brought over by two Jin pawns-no way, he was afraid, his legs were weak-Zhen asked casually: "Why didn't the Metropolitan Governor let us chase the enemy?" The commander of the herald took a breath to stabilize his mood, and then replied: "The governor of the capital has an order, and the generals who cross the river will strictly guard the ferry to prevent Hu Kou from counterattacking, whether to pursue the enemy, and then wait for the rear." β
Zhen Sui smiled: "Hu Kou has already scattered and fled, how can he still have the power to fight back?" The Governor was too worried. Chen An said: "Even so, you can't chase the enemy too far, this is also the key to the art of war." And since the Metropolitan Governor has orders, how dare we disobey them? β
Zhen Sui said well-"In this way, I will entrust the secretary to guard the ferry, and there must be no loss!" "As soon as Guo Yu pulls Guo Yu, let's hurry up and go to Puban City to prevent General Hu from escaping.
ββββββββββ
In last night's battle, the main battlefield was still in Hulai, Hexi. For the Hu soldiers crowded at the ferry, several Jin generals commanded the crowd and besieged them in formation, with spears in front, pressing forward step by step. Hu Bing had those who could not squeeze into the river bridgeβand most of them were forced to turn back to fight, but they were killed by the Jin soldiers who were waiting for them to shoot spears and arrows, and the rest were mostly forced into the river, and a few waves were overturned, and then they disappeared.
In the end, most of the Hu soldiers were forced to kneel and beg for surrender, and the generals of each battalion were busy capturing prisoners, searching for and killing generals, and following the defeated soldiers across the river bridge in one breath and chasing them to the east bank, in fact, there were only Zhen Sui and Chen An.
After that, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the corpses of Hu soldiers (including those who were seriously injured and mended) were picked up, no less than 7,000 people, more than 20,000 were taken prisoner, and it is estimated that there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people who fled back to the east of the river......
There were many generals who were captured and killed, but most of the main generals of the Hu army were arrested, and only a few charred corpses were dragged out of the embers of the big tent.
The Liu Cang brothers fled to Hedong half a day earlier, while Qiao Tai, Wang Teng and other generals abandoned the trilogy, boarded a dozen small boats at the ferry, and crossed to the east bank in embarrassment - whether they could reach Hedong smoothly, or capsized halfway, it is still unknown. This is forced by the situation, and they know that if they board the bridge and die for life, they are afraid that they will be pushed and thrown into the water by their own people......
The battle was a complete victory, but the finishing work was also very cumbersome, especially in the chaotic battle, many Hu soldiers took advantage of the dark night, escaped from the gap of the Jin army, and fled to the Guanzhong Plain, which is likely to have a bad impact on local security - Pei Gai urgently ordered the "Qiji Battalion" to go out in all directions, search and kill Hedong and defeat Hu.
In addition, the grain in the army is already insufficient, and the grain captured by the Hu army is not enough for ten thousand hours, so it can only be emergency and difficult to hold for a long time. If the attack continues, as Pei Gai himself said a few days ago, it will have to be transported from distant counties, and the loss of the road is too great, and the cost is too high, which will affect the accumulation of Guanzhong in the next few years. Therefore, he hurriedly issued an order, ordering the soldiers and horses who had already crossed the east of the river not to chase far away, and to control the ferry first.
Immediately Tao Kan was ordered to lead the boat to the east of the river, unloaded hundreds of Jin soldiers, and helped guard the ferry - because the bridge was broken, it was difficult to repair it in a hurry, and the soldiers and horses in Hedong had become a lone army, and there was a setback, but it added to the snake.
Tao Kanfu landed on the shore, and Chen An came to visit. This is the first time the two have met, Tao Shixing said kind words to soothe, and then asked, "General Zhen is here?" "I heard that he came with you to the east of the river, and ran in front of your horse on foot, why didn't he come to see me?
Chen An arched his hand and said: "Because the ancestor of Luoyang sent Guo Yu and others to disturb Hedong and help me, according to Guo Yu, Liu Cang saw him in Puban, so General Zhen ordered him to be a guide and go to search and kill ......."
Chen An was very interesting, and he also helped Zhen Sui cover up. In fact, Guo Yu can't be sure what he saw last night, and Liu Cang is among the two Hu generals who later fled to Pusaka, but if he said that he was just chasing two unidentified people, he would disobey the military order, and Zhen would be punished afterwards. Chen An considered that I came to Hedong with Zhen Sui, and if he made a mistake, I would also be jointly and severally liable if I couldn't keep it all - although everyone knew that unless the governor of the capital, no one could pull Zhen Sui's fierce horse - it would be forgivable to say that Liu Cang saw him in Pusaka, so it was understandable for the camera to act for such a big target.
Tao Kan frowned slightly, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Guo Yu bring?" How much will General Zhen go? Pusaka Castle is high, I'm afraid it won't be easy to attack......"
