Chapter 1103: Retreating is faster than marching!
This side was sorting out the battle situation, and suddenly another messenger came in.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Goguryeo is moving again? It's really not worry-free. Zhang asked conveniently.
The messenger replied: "Back to the captain, the second batch of military rations transported by the Murong Department has arrived, do you accept it?" ”
"Of course I do!" Zhang Fang's eyes lit up, "Take it as much as possible, are you afraid that they won't be able to poison it?" What Murong wants most now is to make Lao Tzu feel comfortable and save them eye medicine in front of the lord! By the way, don't forget to say a word to the Murong people who are transporting the supplies, their horse material is not very good, and they have to send the best next time! ”
The messenger said yes and left.
Zhang Fang said to the deputy generals and staff on the left and right: "Let's talk about the Murong Ministry, their people are here, these people from the Murong Department are really good at pretending to be grandsons, because they are afraid of the lord, they can change their faces immediately, as if those things didn't exist at the beginning, but I have to admire them, being able to pretend to be a grandson is the ability, and they can live a few more years, Lao Tzu just didn't know how to pretend to be a grandson, so let the grandsons in Luoyang plot and almost died!" ”
Hearing this, the lieutenants and staff below didn't dare to speak easily, but they couldn't help muttering silently in their hearts: You don't know how to pretend now!
Indeed, in the eyes of his subordinates and colleagues, whether Zhang Fang was a man or a war, it was a time when he went to the dark and did not pretend to be a grandson.
The previous vigorous expedition greatly changed the situation in Pingzhou, and even the Duan Department surrendered, forcing the King of Goguryeo to come over to supervise the battle in person, and as soon as Zhang Fang heard the news, he thought about directly capturing the king and ending the crusade.
But just after a little success here, the Murong Department suddenly entered the game, and the situation changed instantly, developing towards an unfavorable situation, especially the Yuwen Department, which was incorporated by Zhang Fang, also because of the call of Yuwen Kai, and there were repeats, and for a while, internal and external troubles.
On the other hand, the Murong Department is a force in Pingzhou, and its business has taken root for a long time, which can be said to have deep roots, and its influence has not dissipated.
They not only rescued Na Yuwen Kai from captivity, but also said that they had reversed some of the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen Ministry, and they would immediately grasp the general situation, and they would disrupt the situation in Pingzhou sorted out by Zhang Fang, and they would faintly want to be completely entrenched.
At that time, the situation was very critical, Zhang Fang in order to defeat Goguryeo in one go, and planned to force Duan to become an assistant army, so he pressed it vigorously, which made the logistics of the rear very tight, and the bigger problem was the lack of air defense in the rear.
So when the Murong Department suddenly attacked, it cut off Zhang Fang's back road and supplies at once, making his situation difficult.
However, Zhang Fang was a person who had fought for many years, and he could put down his skin, and at the critical moment, he forced many small clans to hand over grain and grass to support their own soldiers and horses, and at the same time took the co-congregation army to loot the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, barely maintaining it for a while.
However, the Murong Department has been recuperating for many years, and although the soldiers and horses raised are not as good as the Xuanjia Army, they are much stronger than the soldiers of the ordinary tribes.
As a result, the battle situation in Pingzhou was immediately reversed, the Murong clan cut off Zhang Fang's back road, and Goguryeo also made a comeback, fighting with Zhang Fang in front, and even the Duan Division, which had already said that he wanted to surrender, was also ambiguous.
In this unfavorable situation, Zhang Fang relied on the 3,000 Xuanjia Army to break through several sieges and follow in Liaodong County, with the momentum of turning from offensive to defensive.
On the other side, the Murong clan's power expanded rapidly, and after repelling Deng Fei's army, which wanted to rescue Zhang Fang, he almost completely controlled the western part of Pingzhou.
At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses that had been lurking under Deng Fei's command for a long time appeared, led by Zu Li, and as soon as this army appeared, it showed extraordinary combat power, disrupting the layout of the Murong Department, and giving Zhang Fang a chance to breathe.
The balance of victory did not completely tilt in favor of the Murong Ministry.
"I know very well what Murong thought when he sent troops," Zhang Fang couldn't help but interject when he heard a few staff members sorting out the situation in this part, "It's nothing more than a quick battle and a quick decision, causing the established things." ”
A staff member took over the words, nodded and said: "That's right, they saw that Chen Gong personally led his troops westward, thinking that they had an opportunity, they wanted to occupy Pingzhou, and this method was even more straightforward, that is, to take advantage of the fierce battle between the main force of the Xuanjia Army and the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and seize other territories." ”
"Yes, but the people of their Murong Department didn't expect that the lord would level the state in a short period of time, so that the soldiers and horses of the Murong Department had not been fully mobilized, and they hurriedly moved back, that embarrassing posture is really embarrassing!"
When Zhang Fang said this paragraph, his expression could be described as wonderful, both relieved and hateful, and even more unspeakably unwilling, obviously this final siege was solved, so that he would not fall into a dangerous situation, did not lose much of the Xuanjia Army, kept his reputation, and also kept the invincible signboard of the Xuanjia Army.
But the people who didn't defeat Murong with their own hands were still like a thorn in Zhang Fang's heart after all, and it was difficult to pull them out.
In fact, the news of Bingzhou not only frightened the Xianbei people, but also frightened the Xuanjia military captain, who thought that his record was strong enough, although he was slightly disgraced in the siege of the Murong Department, but it was generally said that it was in the past.
Moreover, even at the most dangerous moment, Zhang Fang also supported it, and also formulated a slightly crazy counterattack plan, planning to make a long-distance attack, directly detour to the north, and surprise attack Murong Headquarters, so as to break the situation.
As a result, before he could make a move, Murong took the initiative to withdraw his troops and horses, and then sent Yuwen Kai's head over, and even sent envoys to confess his guilt and surrender one after another.
"These grandsons of the Murong Ministry really dare to do it, I heard that even their prince was tied up and sent to Youzhou, saying that it was at the mercy of the lord, and he also sent a letter, asking Murong Han to go back to inherit Shan Yu's position, and also sent me money and food, and supported me to fight Goguryeo, I heard that this news passed over, and the old king of Goguryeo was so angry that he vomited blood when he was dying, and I don't know if he was angry to death."
Some staff members said: "Goguryeo Koubian was originally bewitched by the Murong Ministry, but the Murong Ministry did this, of course he was angry. ”
"But that's the case now! That Goguryeo still has to fight, it is really unbearable, today I am not enough troops, I can't destroy it, if he has a large army in hand, he will definitely capture the king of Goguryeo, and whip him! ”
After speaking, Zhang Fang stood up and called a soldier.
"Send me a message to the Murong Ministry, and say that he doesn't need to send this grain and grass, first borrow me 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Goguryeo!"
