Chapter 365: A Cry [Ask for Subscription]
Liangshanbo is one or two hundred miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is a large river in the middle. Tong Guan, who escaped from the place of "conquest" where he was responsible, only took two days and nights to complete the journey and escape to the Daimyo's Mansion, which can be regarded as a record-breaking high speed in the officialdom of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
In the meantime, he was overwhelmed by the bad news that came in one after another.
On the eve of his escape from Hebei, he had learned that the Western Army was also a big rout, and he was afraid that overnight, the Liangshan thieves would appear around Yanggu and cut off his way of survival and retreat, so he hurriedly escaped from Yanggu County and crossed the river directly to the north. On the way, I got the news that the Liangshan thief army had killed Benyang Valley. In this way, the city on the north bank of the Yellow River was not safe, so he went straight to the Daimyo's mansion without stopping, and heard the rumor that 100,000 officers and troops had been wiped out.
Tong Guan didn't believe the news of the annihilation of the 100,000-strong army. In particular, there are nearly half of the Western Army in it. He believed that the Western Army would maintain its fine traditions, and even if the battle was lost, the soldiers would run home in chaos.
However, this big river between Shandong and Hebei made him have to think carefully about the possibility of the annihilation of the whole army.
In any case, he lost this battle, and he must reply to Tokyo City as soon as possible. This is very different from what he did in the past, when whenever he lost a battle, he always had to hide the news, and it was better to hide it for a day than to let the officials and the government and the opposition immediately inform him. Now, there is nothing to be done. In the past, the Western army fought far away in Kansai, and now the battle is under the nose of Tokyo City.
At this time, he didn't report to the official family, so did the other officials all fake it?
Rather than telling the officials to feel that they are deliberately concealing their failures, it is better to report them themselves earlier. Tong Guan is now eager to give birth to a pair of wings and fly back to Tokyo City, and personally tell Zhao Ji about the defeat, and others in the province will add fuel to it. Although Tong Guan is not worried that he will be completely abandoned by the official family, he is a powerful weapon for the official family to balance the court, and he is also a pawn for the official family to control the military. Although this defeat is significant, it does not make the officials give up on themselves immediately.
But the current situation means that he can't go back to Tokyo City. Tong Guan fled from Shandong to Hebei, and then ran back to Tokyo City, which would be provoking the endurance of the official family.
"Make the phase, make the phase......" A hurried call came from outside. When Tong Guan turned his head to look, Zhao Liangsi had already stepped into the atrium. That Zhao Tan was nowhere to be found in the chaotic army, and only Zhao Liangsi was following him at the moment. As we all know, Zhao Liangsi was born in the Han official clan of Liao, and the Liao State was influenced by the Central Plains, and all systems and habits were on par with the Han family. even pretended to be China, believing that the relationship with Zhao and Song was nothing more than the Southern and Northern Dynasties. You are a country of brothers, you are China, I am also China, you learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, and I also read the books of sages.
This Zhao Liangsi is the standard Han dress. Wear a straight jacket, wear a hat, and swing the wide sleeves. I don't see any difference with Dr. Nakahara.
"Minister, something happened."
Zhao Liangsi's words made Tong Guan a little unable to come back to his senses. What does it mean that something is wrong? What's going on again?
"The villain has just been reported. The Beijing Daimyo Mansion stayed behind Liang Shijie and went north to inspect the place. ”
"There was also an urgent report from Chaocheng, the Liangshan army captured there, and the local magistrate did not dare to resist, so he opened the city gate and fled on his own. Now Chaocheng is already in the hands of Liangshan thieves. ”
Zhao Liangsi said as he spoke, and suddenly felt that his life was declining. was originally doing a good job as an official in Liaodi, but he was kicked out of the power group because he got into the turmoil. This finally got into the old Zhao family, but Zhao Song, who seemed to be prosperous, suddenly came out in large numbers. First Lu Qian and then Wang Qing, now there is a square la in the land of taxation in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a Tianhu in Hedong who is thriving. The dynasty of the Khitan people is in decline, and the throne of the old Zhao family is also crumbling.
The green tendons on Tong Guan's forehead bulged up! The Liang thieves crossed the Yellow River to attack Hebei, and Liang Shijie fled again, which really killed him.
Zhao Liangsi looked at Tong Guan and only hoped that he could utter the word 'escape'. As far as the officials and soldiers here in the Daimyo Mansion are all in shape, the soldiers are lazy, they are weak, and they have no temperament of half a strong soldier.
But Tong Guan can't. His mouth opened and opened, and he didn't dare to simply spit out an escape word. Don't think that people all over the world are blind and say whatever they say.
"Liang Shijie, Liang Shijie ......"
……
Fan.
"Drive-" The shouts were muffled by the thunderous trampling of horses' hooves. Thousands of cavalry soldiers were like a long dragon, galloping freely in the wilderness east of the city.
In the previous decisive battle, after the defeat of the official army, the sergeants fled north in a swarm, but they were blocked by the Yellow River, and most of them were captured. But there were also some soldiers and horses that fled westward, especially after dark.
Lu Qian's victory in this battle made him overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the first battle caused the complete collapse of 100,000 officers and troops, but it was far better than the defeat of the enemy he thought before. And it is precisely because of this that the pursuit of the Liangshan army cannot be slackened in the slightest.
It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord.
Lu Qian also wanted to kill under the city of Tokyo and patronize the horse farm of the Heavenly Prison.
If so, he divided the cavalry into two, one directly smashed the Guangji army, and the other came to Puzhou. The main force was behind them to seize the time to rest and clean up the rout of the Song army.
The wounded soldiers were all sent back to Liangshan Bo Dazhai, and there was no time to replenish the cavalry shortage, so Lu Junyi led the hussar battalion, the Xiao cavalry battalion and the light cavalry with the smallest casualties in the whole army to kill Puzhou.
This Fan County is the last barrier on the east side of Puzhou. There must have been some defeated soldiers passing through here. Lu Junyi thought there would be a fight. But he reined in his horse and looked at the city through a clairvoyant mirror. I was stunned to find that there was no one in this Fan County!
In Fan County, more than three miles away, the city gate is wide open, and there are often some sporadic passers-by. At this moment, when he saw the Liang Shanjun rushing to kill, he was frightened and scurried around. Lu Junyi could see clearly the cloth shoe that fell on the road downstairs under the city gate.
What's going on? Empty city plan?
"Da da da......" The sound of galloping horses' hooves revolved around the city gate of Fan County.
The east gate is open, and the north gate is also open.
"Chase me—"
There is no sign of anything at the east gate where the ground is clean outside the city, and there is nothing to see at the north gate, but it is different outside the west gate. It was obviously a trace left by a large group of people leaving the city, and it was clearly imprinted in Lu Junyi's eyes. Looking at the open gate, there is nothing unclear about everything.
The defeated army fled westward, leaving behind only a vain Fan County. How dare the people in the city close the four gates? That, of course, is to open the gates around the city, and leave them unfortified.
"What about the Liangshan thieves? What about the Liangshan thieves? "The new county magistrate Qiu Wei came from the yamen panting, and there was not a single figure outside the city." What about the Liangshan thieves? What about people? ”
This is a major matter related to the lives and vital interests of the people in the city, how can the hatred not be nervous? He was so nervous that his heart hung in the air when he heard the news of the defeat of Tong Guan's army.
The official who came down from the city looked at the new county commander who was looking left and right, and shouted, "Xianggong, the Liangshan thieves have all chased to the west......"
Those damned officers and soldiers have caused a lot of harm to Fan County. This time I finally did a good thing.
Lu Junyi led his troops to continue to rush west, one mile, two miles...... Wuli ...... It wasn't until twenty miles later that the outpost scouts reported that they had found a group of thousands of court foot soldiers in front of them.
More than 1,000 Liangshanbo cavalry poured out of the horizon like a tide.
Lu Junyi rode on the horse, without any fatigue from fighting for days, and was full of energy and took the lead. He first beckoned to the trumpeter beside him and said, "Blow the trumpet, say hello to them." Tell them that the grandfathers are coming! ”
The contempt from the heart, the trumpeter, listened to it, and his heart was stirred!
"Woo-" the desolate trumpet sounded.
Lu Junyi and the more than 1,000 cavalry behind him raised their weapons at the same time and shouted: "Wan Sheng-"
Everyone sped up their horses. In the galloping of horses, an incomparable momentum quickly condensed in the sequence.
As for the defeated army in front, they suddenly encountered such a change, and they were almost stupid for seven or eight breaths before they burst into a mess. I saw a few officers on war horses rushing forward and fleeing, and the defeated troops of the subsequent brigade, after looking at the original cavalry of the Liangshan Army for a while, I don't know who started to put down their weapons, and they all chose to surrender.
According to inquiries, the person who escaped was Yao Gu, the deputy head of the Huanqing Army, that is, the second son of Yao Ji, a famous general of the former Western Army, and his brother Yao Xiong was even more famous, but his life was short and he had died early.
Yao Xiong is the current master of the Yao clan of the Western Army, and if he can be caught, the deterrence of the Western Army will inevitably be greater. Lu Junyi was very sorry when he heard this. But it was too late to pursue them again, and there was only a small black spot left on those horses.
The facts have also proved this, when Yao Gu led people to flee to Puzhou City, Lu Junyi was still more than ten miles away.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
"Let the Sprinkler in—"
The soldiers above the city hurriedly put down the drawbridge and quickly opened the city gate, this is Yao Gu, Yao Jiaerlang, they all know each other. With Liu Zhongwu and others fleeing back to Puzhou, the old nature in Puzhou City will not be Liu Guangshi's turn.
At this moment, the person guarding the head of the city is Wang Gan, who is also behind the gate of the Western Army, and his father is Wang Junwan, a fierce general of the Western Army. Wang Shaoxi opened the river, and Yu Longke, the great chief of the Qingtang Dynasty, returned to Zhao and Song, and the Silla knot of Qiang was not followed. After a brief Han Jin, the generals will take it in the period of one month. Wang Junwan then deceived himself as a hunter, chased birds, and came to the residence of Silla Jie, showed his skills, and won the appreciation of Silla Jie. Silla knot hunts with him. During the hunt, Wang Junwan took advantage of Silla's unpreparedness and broke out, knocked him off his horse, and beheaded him and galloped back. Among the older Western Army, he is also a well-known figure.
And when Yao Gu's father, brother and uncle showed their talents, it was also in the Xihe River. There is some incense to each other.
When Yao Gu saw Wang Gan, he hugged and cried bitterly. The six thousand elites of Huanqing Road were completely defeated by him. When Yao Gu said this, Wang Zhen was even more sad from the heart, and the troops under his command were not also defeated.
He could get out of the dark night, but he couldn't bring out the soldiers of Yan Yanlu. As soon as the two of them cried like this, a cry sounded at the entire Puzhou city gate.
