Chapter 93: Ready to Move
On the contrary, the Onishi regime not only failed to learn from the mistakes of the previous ruling and failed to win back the hearts of the Sichuan people, but after the defeat in Hanzhong, it actually tried in vain to further suppress and control the Sichuan people through power, which caused the contradictions between the two sides to sharpen, and the powerful people in various places took up arms to revolt against Zhang Xianzhong.

After receiving the news of Hanzhong's defeat, Zhang Xianzhong was furious and severely punished the front-line generals.
Funan general Zhang Wenxiu lost his division and lost his discipline, was surrendered to guerrillas, and still hung the seal of General Funan.
Zhang Dingguo, the general of Anxi, also went out of Hanzhong together, and those who fled first after defeat, Dingguo also, tied up a hundred, and reduced the total of thousands, and still hung the seal of General Anxi.
This is also the punishment of his two most beloved sons, and there are more than ten generals who are punished for this.
In addition, Zhang Xianzhong even took an aggressive offensive against the forces that he had tried to recruit and co-opt in the past, forcing the other party to submit, hoping to dilute the adverse effects of the Hanzhong War through a greater victory.
The generals of the Great Western Army have been dominating the world for several years, and they are all quite conceited, after hearing that Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu suffered setbacks, the **** Li who occupied Shunqing City actually thought that they were looking for a rare good opportunity.
Since Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo and other righteous sons gradually mastered the military power, veterans such as **** Li, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli have been neglected, not only their positions are not as good as the four righteous sons, but also the soldiers and horses they lead are far inferior.
As a veteran, Zuodu Governor **** Li decided to attack Pengzhou in order to control northern Sichuan, proving that leading troops to fight is no worse than the four righteous sons.
News came from the details of Shunqing Mansion that the Great Western Army has been fighting hard in the past few days, and it seems that there will be great achievements, how to guard against the enemy army, and everyone is in a state of confusion.
As Pan Mengke introduced, because Li Yi of Guang'an Prefecture raised troops to revolt, Zhang Guangcai, the governor of the Great Western Army, led his 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Guang'an Prefecture to suppress the locality.
The left army of the Great Western Army was the governor of **** Li and the left and right garrisons who had just returned to Shun, and Feng Youqing led the main force to garrison Nanchong, the administrative office of Shunqing Mansion.
Now if the Great Western Army wants to march, will it march from Shunqing, Guang'an, and Langzhong, or will it be in the two directions of Shunqing and Guang'an, or just in the direction of Shunqingfu?
Everyone speculated, although Yang Xuan thought that Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo had just suffered a fiasco, and Liu Jinzhong in Langzhong would never enter the army, but the situation on the battlefield was changing instantly, and how the Great Western Army would march, who could know?
At noon on the third day of the second lunar month, the scouts came with the news that the gate of Shunqing was opened early in the morning, and a team of the Great Western Army walked out of the city gate and marched in the direction of Pengzhou.
The speed of the army's march was very rapid, and it had traveled thirty miles in half a day, and its advance was now approaching the junction of the two counties, which was jaw-dropping.
In the ancient era of cold weapon warfare, everyone wore thick armor, coupled with less oil to eat, and the speed of the march was so fast, it was really jaw-dropping.
Since the founding of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the principle of elite soldiers has been implemented, and the soldiers have been fished and eaten by going down to the river every three or five days, and they have gone to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt and eat every Friday.
At the same time that everyone was talking, the porter came to report, and **** Li sent a messenger, claiming that if he did not surrender, he would enter Xiangru County when the time came, and the chickens and dogs would not be left.
Yang Xuan listened, and suddenly felt stunned in his heart, Zhang Xianzhong is a generation of heroes, and his generals are pretentious one by one, and this Hanzhong fiasco is because Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu are fighting for their own merits.
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan's face sank, and he immediately ordered the left and right envoys to drag out the major thirty boards, and then drive them out of the city.
Standing on the city wall, watching the envoy disappear in front of him, Chen Huaixi on his side shook his head and said: "My lord, as the saying goes, the two countries do not fight each other, and you beat the **** envoy this time, so it will inevitably make him thunderous, and it will be us ordinary people who will be implicated at that time." ”
Pan Mengke, an intelligence staff officer, sighed and said: "My lord, I just found out that this time it was 4,000 men and horses led by the governor of the left army of the Great Western Army, who had been galloping all the way north since leaving the Fucheng Administration this morning. ”
Chen Huaixi said angrily: "This, this is too arrogant, although there are 4,000 people in the **** Li Division, but after all, the lone army is adventurous, after all, it is a long-distance attack." ”
Yang Xuan's face was heavy, he shook his head and said: "Everyone is too despised by **** profit, think about it, we can find out the approximate strength of **** profit, can't **** profit find out our strength?"
We only have seven battalions of infantry and two cavalry bureaus, and now the guard battalion, the 5th battalion, and the 6th battalion are stationed in Xiangru County, the 4th battalion is stationed in Yunshan Ancient City, the 1st and 3rd battalions are stationed in the direction of Yingshan and Daxian, and the 2nd battalion is stationed in Yilong County, in the upper reaches of the Jialing River.
In Li's opinion, as long as we don't want to give up Pengzhou, we don't dare to move the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions outside, and if we do, we will inevitably be cut off, just like Huanglong last year.
Let's talk about it, in the face of more than 1,000 people in our two battalions, what is **** Lina called a lone army?"
Everyone was shocked, everyone didn't know what to do, and looked at Yang Xuan one by one, hoping to reverse the adverse effects of the situation.
Yang Xuan laughed, where did a few teacups simply pose the posture of the two sides, and said with a smile: "It seems that **** Li still miscalculated, if I transfer Wang Gao's 1st battalion to Xiangru County immediately, so Xiangru County will have 3 battalions of infantry and 2 brigades of cavalry, and in the face of the arrogant rogue, it can be defeated." ”
Chen Huaixi's face changed greatly, and he pointed to the ancient city of Yunshan on the opposite side and said: "My lord, the terrain of the ancient city of Yunshan is dangerous, easy to attack and difficult to defend.
This Yunshan ancient city and Xiangru county are each other's horns, when resisting the Mongolian invasion, my Song Dynasty military and people are to give up Xiangru county, to defend the ancient city of Yunshan.
Although Zhang Guangcai in Guang'an Prefecture has not moved now, if the other party moves, it will be a sword to seal his throat.
If the ancient city of Yunshan is still in our hands, there is also a barrier, and if the ancient city of Yunshan is lost, it is the back road is cut off. ”
Yang Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, just as you said, the terrain of this ancient city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We know this, and I think **** Li and Zhang Guangcai also know this. In that case, why don't we be suspicious? ”
Everyone frowned, Yang Xuan beckoned, and whispered a few times in Chen Huaixi's ear, Chen Huaixi was shocked, shook his head again and again, and said: "My lord, this, this is not good, how can you hold the ancient city of Yunshan with hundreds of Zhuang Ding?" ”
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, thanks to your self-proclaimed knowledge of reading military books since childhood, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, how did General Wu Jue, who had military achievements comparable to Yue Wumu, win the victory of Immortal Pass?" ”
Chen Huaixi shook his head, Yang Xuan pointed to a pile of haystacks in the distance, and after Chen Huaixi whispered a few times in his ear, Chen Huaixi was initially puzzled, and then nodded his head again and again.
Chen Huaixi took the order and went to the ancient city of Yunshan with 30 servants in the name of strengthening the defense of Yunshan, summoned more than 10 villages in a radius of more than 10 miles nearby, and asked the surrounding large families to transport grain and grass to the ancient city of Yunshan.
It is now February, and the dry grass in the field has not yet rotted, and some of the dead grass is half a person high, and bundles are transported to the ancient city of Yunshan.
After working so busy all afternoon, in the evening, the gate of the village was secretly opened, and Yao Zhijiao led the 4th battalion out of the ancient city secretly, took a ferry, and returned to Xiangru County overnight.
When I got up in the morning, I stood at the head of the city and saw the people outside the city running into the city with their families in tow.
Since the nursery rhyme spread, the people were full of fear of the Great Western Army, and everyone was worried that the Great Western Army would slaughter the people.
The carts were desperately pushing inside, and the officials were checking according to the household registration book and ID cards, and I heard that three spies had been found this time, and they were mixed with the fleeing people, in a vain attempt to sneak through the border and enter the city.
Martial law had begun in the county seat, and teams of officials beat gongs and drums.
The head of the township kept shouting, and each set up a big banner to let the villagers live together, so as not to be mixed in by spies, and then the villagers would take care of it.
At this moment, the herald arrived and asked Yao Zhijiao to immediately enter the Zhizhou Yamen to discuss matters.
Everyone hurried to the Zhizhou Yamen, and everyone sat on the left and right after saying goodbye.
Looking at everyone's solemn faces, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Everyone, there are many rogues, do you have the confidence to fight out of the city with me, and first thwart the prestige of the rogue?"
Everyone glanced at each other, one by one looked quite excited, everyone said that in the past, in the face of the Turkish tyrants, the loyal and righteous army could be one as ten, although the combat power of the Great Western Army was stronger than that of the Turkish tyrants, but it was also a rogue, what was there to worry about.
When Yang Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed, why did everyone despise the enemy so much, as the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and this is unacceptable for a long time.
It seems that he wants to pour a little cold water on everyone, so that they don't run rampant and think they are like local tyrants.
gestured to Pan Mengke next to him, Pan Mengke immediately introduced the establishment of the Great Western Army, the equipment of the Great Western Army, and heard that the Great Western Army was also equipped with tiger squat cannons, and heard that the Great Western Army actually had a Fran machine gun, and everyone put away their arrogance slightly.
Seeing that everyone's expressions became serious, Yang Xuan analyzed with a smile: "We used to fight with the local tyrants, and the local tyrants had six or seven times as many troops as ours, but everyone think about it, the local tyrants are a rabble, and more than fifty percent of the homeless people are coerced, and about thirty percent of the cannon fodder troops have just been recruited.
The Great Western Army is menacing, although Zhang Xianzhong has been dominating the world for more than ten years, and his generals can fight habitually, but in essence, his subordinates are also born as rogues.
The two cities are more than 100 miles apart, and the left army of the Great Western Army is the governor of **** Li, and the first day of the march has gone more than 50 miles.
Although everyone was arrogant, they were only temporarily blinded, and now when they heard Yang Xuan say this, although they were quite unconvinced, they had nothing to say.
