Shi Le also hated Su Jun—mostly out of anger—and wanted to drum up morale so that the retreat would not turn into a rout, and when he reached Yan County, he would join Zhang Fu and others to launch a fierce offensive. Su Junxi was not warm, so he was forced to flee from the city and return to Wating, and most of the Yanzhou soldiers under his command were scattered.

After chasing Su Jun, Shi Le Nai was looking for a boat in Jianjin and Wenshijin.

Originally, the boat should have been put downstream, but who wanted to look by the river, but the first thing they saw was a large number of corpses, rising and falling in the waves...... Seeing this, Shi Le couldn't help but feel sad, so he said to the left and right: "This must be Tongguan and other places, and if you can't rush over, the Jin people will also chase after you." Now it is not easy to wade through, the battle is also death, and the escape is also death, it is better to fight a decisive battle with Zu Li according to Yan County - there are still tens of thousands of athletes under my command, and it may not be unreasonable! ”

Qin Gu, who joined the army, hurriedly dissuaded him, saying, "Your Majesty is cautious! Although there are many people in today's army, they have little fighting spirit, and it is okay to defeat Su Jun, and An can resist Zu Ti? "What's the use of tens of thousands of people, don't you see that morale is about to fall to the bottom? The recapture of Yan County is completely due to the exhaustion of the Jin people, and his foothold is not stable, he is worse than us...... But Zu Ti Fang chased after him, where is it so easy to resist.

Zhang Jing also said: "The minister is willing to be here, guard Yan County and Zhuli, in order to resist the Jin Kou, and hope that Your Majesty will quickly cross north, so that you can take the grain of Fangtou, and enter the court song to collect the scattered soldiers, so that it is still worthy of a war." If you are still stranded in Henan, you are afraid that your morale will be difficult to boost, and the weather is getting colder and colder. ”

Shi Le was naturally quite dissatisfied with Zhang Jing, and he said in his heart that if the Right Marquis was here, even if I couldn't win, I wouldn't have fallen into such a field—at least the Right Marquis would persuade me to withdraw and stop the loss before Hanoi was in danger. However, this big gamble, although Zhang Jing made the words, it was himself who made the final decision, and Zhang Bin dissuaded him many times, but he refused to listen...... If I put all the responsibility on Zhang Jing, I feel comfortable in my heart, and I am afraid that it will shake the hearts of the soldiers even more.

Even if Zhang Jing is to be punished, it will have to wait until I return to Xiangguo safely.

So he said to Zhang Jing with a pleasant face: "What Qing said is true, but Qing should cross with me." "You may not be competent as a staff officer, who can rest assured that you will be guarding Yan County?

He took Zhang Jing and other staff officers and some guards to cross the Yellow River with the collected boats, rushed to Fangtou, and the rest of the troops slowly crossed.

Shi Le had just crossed the river, Zu Ti arrived, and when he saw that there was already a boat shadow on the river, he couldn't help but be anxious, so he ordered Feng Tie to ride the fine horse to rush Zhao Lei. When the soldiers saw the Heavenly King and the umbrella cover crossing the river, most of them lost their fighting spirit, and they were easily broken by Feng Tie in two battalions. The Jin army continued to advance, and the Zhao division was defeated.

Kong Chang saw that the situation was not good, so he did not guard Yan County, and led hundreds of his cronies to ride away in the wilderness, running along the Yellow River all the way to the east, looking for land to cross the river. If Lu Ming, Wu Yu and others are here, they will definitely not care about life and death, Jia Yong fights, it is good to be able to buy a moment for Shi Leduo, but Kong Chang is quick to come and slippery, and his vision is keen, when he sees that he can't win this battle, then why am I staying here waiting for death? Run!

He only gave one last order before abandoning the guard, ordering all the ships that had just been put back on the south bank to be scuttled and sunk, and not to be with the Jin people.

So Zu Ti was only one step away from arriving at Jianjin, although he grabbed some boats, but the number was too small to wade - after all, the ferry on the north bank was still in the hands of the Zhao people, and there were many fortresses along the coast.

I couldn't help but sigh at the river, and said: "I can only hope that Li Shihui can stop Shile from Hanoi to the east." Then he ordered: "Summons Su Jun to see me!" ”

——————————

As soon as Li Ju went down to Zhou and Huai'er County, he immediately sent troops to monitor Shanyang, and then marched straight along the north bank of the Yellow River, destroying the Qianren Dock Fort all the way, and a few days later, successfully conquered Wude and entered Ji County.

In terms of fame, it is slightly higher than Lu He, and Lu He was ordered by Pei Gai to be regarded as a request to reinforce the Hanoi battlefield, so Li Ju honestly and unceremoniously assumed that he was the main general and transferred Lu He's troops at will. If there was a different person, maybe he wouldn't dare, but I heard Guo Yu say that this Lu Fenwu was from a low background and honest, although he had the heart to fight for merit, he had no intention of grabbing merit......

The Guanzhong army is indeed elite, so most of the hard bones along the way, Li Ju let Lu He gnaw on them, and Lu He lived up to expectations, destroying the enemy and breaking the city, and he was unstoppable. However, after entering Jijun, he encountered a group of soldiers who rushed from Huting, easily defeated, captured a few prisoners, inquired about the battle situation in Xingyang, and knew that Shile had retreated, and might cross north in Tongguan or Jianjin, Li Ju immediately adjusted the sequence, and ordered Guo Yu to lead the elite of the headquarters as the vanguard and rush to Tongguan.

When Guo Yu arrived at Tongguan to inquire, there were indeed soldiers who crossed the river and immediately retreated into Ji County, but Shi Le's Daxu was not seen in his army. The young man is bold, on the one hand, he spreads the word to Li Ju and Lu He, who are following behind, and on the other hand, he bypasses Jixian and goes straight to the head of Fang.

- If Shile wades from Jianjin or Wenshijin, then the first stop must be Fangtou, and Fangtoutun has stored a large amount of grain, then Guo Yu thinks that even if I can't stop Shile, I must strive to seize Fangtou before he finishes transporting Fangtou's grain. After all, the Jin army pursued for hundreds of miles, and in order to get Shile, they were forced to put many enemy cities behind them, and once the grain route was cut off, the situation was also very dangerous; But if you can get the bread of the fang, you will have no worries!

Whoever wanted to get close to Fangtou, he saw the smoke billowing and rising into the sky, Guo Yu was shocked: "The old thief burns grain!" "He guessed we'd be going to kill us soon?

So he accelerated and crossed the white ditch. The Tanma who went in advance returned to report and said: "Fangtou has erected a banner, and I don't know where the people and horses are rescuing the grain!" ”

This team that arrived at Fangtou one step earlier than Guo Yu was naturally Shao Jiajun. It is said that Kuang Shu supervised the Shao Jiajun, collected boats from the vicinity of Liyang, and quietly crossed the river, and was immediately discovered by the Zhao army guarding Liyang, and urgently summoned the nearby dock fort to come and destroy it. The Shao family army fought against the river, people had the will of revenge, and they all fought desperately and bravely, after all, the quality of Shi Zhao's soldiers who stayed in Hebei was not high, so they were broken one by one.

So he marched west along the white ditch and attacked Fangtou. However, since Fangtou has gathered a large amount of grain and straw, it is the most important transportation and replenishment base of Shi Zhao, and it is natural to garrison heavy troops - four battalions and 7,000 troops led by General Linshen here. Hearing that some Jin people were smuggling and approaching Fangtou, Lin Shen personally sent the second battalion out and launched a fierce battle with the Shao family's army.

The Shao army was tired after a long battle, but the Qian army was a new force, and the number of the Zhao army was twice that of the Jin people, so the initial battle was unfavorable and was forced to retreat. Lin Shen saw that there were not many enemies, so he immediately waved his division to chase after him, and Kuang Shunai persuaded Shao Zhu to say: "But you can't win, you can only retreat." ”

Duan Wenyang reprimanded: "People say that there are many strong men in Qingzhou, why is Kuang Jun so cowardly?!" And how can I wait for a way out - today's situation, you can live by fighting, and you will die if you retreat! So he took the lead and led his troops to rush straight to the array, and Liu Yao and Jia Yong followed suit, and everyone was invincible.

Lin Shen raised his spear to fight, and asked, "Who is the Jin general?" Duan Wenyang shouted: "Xianbei Duan Wenyang, come to avenge the annihilation of the clan!" When Lin Shen heard the name of Duan Wenyang for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and he didn't dare to fight with him, so he retreated slightly, which frustrated morale and led to the defeat of the Qian army. He wanted to return to Fangtou, but Duan Wenyang chased after him. In the end, Lin Shen panicked and chose the road, and when he went down the river beach, the mount broke his leg, fell off the horse, and was nailed to the ground by Duan Wenyang as a spear in the chest.

Immediately, the Shao army came to attack Fangtou, although the Zhao army was the main general, it was still closed and guarded, and the Jin army could not enter. That night, he camped and rested, and Duan Wenyang saw Shao Zhu and other generals, with tears on his face. Liu Yao asked: "The general has made great contributions today, and he has beheaded the general, why don't you like it, but cry?" ”

Duan Wenyang said: "In the past, I was martyred, and I led five hundred Jian slaves to run south to follow General Sizu. After that, he was tired of falling, that is, he lost half of it, and these days of fierce fighting, when the party counted, there were less than 100 horsemen, and it was inevitable that sorrow came from it......"

When Shao Zhu and the other generals heard this, they also felt sad. I think that Shao Xu was tired of guarding for several years, and the soldiers and horses under his command exceeded 10,000 at the peak, but now there are less than 2,000 people left...... Immediately, Liu Yao was dumbfounded and said: "The past is over, why bother?" If I can capture the head of the fang and take its grain, the thief will be defeated, and I can avenge the father-in-law and the Duan clan! He bowed his hand to Shao Zhu: "I implore you to take a certain as the vanguard tomorrow, and you must destroy the enemy's base!" ”

However, what they did not expect was that in the afternoon of the next day, Shile would wade from Jianjin and lead thousands of people into Fangtou. At that time, Liu Yao had already broken through the double fence and was about to kill the city wall of Fangtou, when he suddenly saw countless flags coming from the south, and he couldn't help but be shocked. The Jin army retreated for a while, and the trustworthy Shi Le immediately launched a counterattack, Liu Yao was defeated and retreated, and Shao Zhu also left with arrows.

This time, it was Kuang Shu who saved Shao Zhu's life. Yesterday, before Duan Wenyang rushed into battle to kill Linshen, he reprimanded Kuang Shu for cowardice, Kuang Shu was angry and ashamed, and after that, Shao Zhu arranged the "Donglai Battalion" soldiers in the back, as a reserve, and no longer moved forward. Now that the Shao family army has been defeated and retreated, Kuang Shu is to motivate morale and say: "I am serious, but I am cowardly for Xianbei slaves, and now I should lead you and others to break it, kill and retreat the thieves, and let the people of Hebei know that Qingzhou is a brave man!" ”

So he led his troops forward, fought desperately, and was wounded several times and did not retreat, and finally stopped the soldiers.

Not long after the key Shile Fangdu, he heard that Zu Ti had arrived, and the rear army failed to keep up...... The morale of the Zhao army was originally low, and it was completely dependent on the strength of the crowd that it was able to force the Shao family army to retreat for a while, but naturally the follow-up was weak, and it was difficult to fight again.

So he was forced to retreat to the fangtou.

Shi Le did not expect that the Jin army north of the Yellow River, that is, the Hanoi army such as Li Ju and Guo Yu, would be able to come so quickly, but he was worried that Zu Ti would soon be able to cross the river and chase him over. He originally wanted to first transport the grain of Fangtou to the north, and then hold the city, who wanted the Shao army to retreat not far away, Duan Wenyang, Liu Yao and other rotation led hundreds of cavalry, to the north of Fangtou, harassing and killing the grain of the Zhao army. The staff officers all advised that His Majesty should rush into the court, this fangtou defense is weak, and it cannot be lived for a long time - if you don't want food, you don't want it.

Since Shi Le has broken his arm to survive, then if he cuts off an extra piece of meat, there will not be much mental burden. So he led the troops to flee into the court in a hurry, and the soldiers who wanted to stay behind to set fire to the grain - it is estimated that I can't take these grains away, but they must not fall into the hands of the Jin people!

At that time, the grain and grass gathered from all over the place were temporarily stored in the fangtou, and the number of them was more than 100,000 hundred, which was really not something that could be burned by a fire. Especially as soon as he saw the fire, Shao Zhu and the others knew that Shi Le had gone - how could the emperor still be in the wall, he would set fire to it first, and you were not afraid of burning the emperor - so he gritted his teeth, turned around and killed, fought a vicious battle with the remaining Qianjun, successfully broke into the wall, erected a banner, and tried to suppress the fire.

happened to be Guo Yu coming, so he joined forces with Shao Jiajun and put out the fire together. In the end, it took half a day and a night to finally rescue less than 10,000 grains - enough for 10,000 people to eat for more than a month.

Fangtou is only twenty miles away from the south bank of the Yellow River, then the smoke is billowing during the day, and there is still a residual fire at night, Zu Ti has just rested for half a day in Jianjin, and the summoned Su Jun has not yet arrived, he has already received a reward, and he can't help but be overjoyed: "This must be Li Shi's return to the army!" ”

If it weren't for the urgency of the Jin army's persecution, Shi Le wouldn't have burned grain - of course, he wouldn't have lit a fire at Fangtou - and as for the Shao family's army crossing the river in advance, Zu Ti hadn't known about it yet, and even if he knew, he probably didn't think that with two or three thousand soldiers and horses, he could attack Fangtou.

He hurriedly sent men across the Yellow River to inform the friendly forces of the situation on the south bank, and asked them to clear the north bank so that the army could cross the river.

Guo Yu naturally handed over this task to the already tired Shao Jiajun, and he himself went north to Chaoge and continued to pursue Shile.

Let's say that Zu Ti sent someone to summon Su Jun, if Su Zigao was still in Yan County, he would still dare to see him, but now he has retreated to Wating, and when he sees Zu Ti's army coming, he can't help but feel worried in his heart - if I can block Yan County, Shi Le basically can't escape, right? Won't the Ancestral Guild punish me for this? If its army is small, it will be enough, since there are many of them, and the soldiers are full of horses, it is not difficult to directly kill and swallow our army. If I go to the audience alone, am I not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? I'm afraid that even a small life is not very stable, life and death are all in the hands of people!

Therefore, he did not use the excuse of saying that he was seriously injured and could not even ride a horse...... Send his brother Su Yi to confess to Zu Ti. Zu Shizhi couldn't help but be furious.

In fact, if Su Jun really came, Zu Ti would also verbally reprimand him, and he might not be ruthless to him, after all, it was Pei Gai's old general, and Zu Tiya didn't want to stimulate Pei Gai at this time. Who would have thought that Su Jun would not come, Zu Ti Fang was too late, and he was worried that there would be another mess in Luoyang, and he was in a depressed mood, and all his grievances were sprinkled on Su Yi's head at the moment. immediately ordered Su Yi to be detained, and asked Su Jun to come quickly and exchange his brother.

But in this way, Su Zigao didn't dare to show his face.

Of course, Zu Ti didn't have time to wait for him, and as soon as the north bank was cleared, he crossed the river in a row—but slowly. At the same time, Li Ju and others also captured Ji County, and then killed Fangtou, and then went north to Song.

Shi Lefang gathered the pawns of Chaoge, opened the city, and repelled Guo Yu, but before he could chase far, Li Ju and Lu He arrived. Shile was forced to retreat into the city, and then climbed to the top and looked, and the great ...... of Zu Ti appeared on the horizon

The generals of the Zhao army were already emboldened, and they persuaded Shi Le to continue to flee north. Shi Le said: "There is Qishui in the east of Chaoge, and Taihang in the west, and it can be defended, if it is abandoned, the thieves will go deep into Hebei, south of Xiangguo, and there is no danger!" Who will stay and defend this city for me? ”

The generals looked at each other, but no one dared to respond.

Shi Lefang was angry, and suddenly got a report: "Shi Hu has been captured!" ”
