Chapter 1103: The Black Cauldron Gets Back
When Wang Yang heard that Tong Guan was coming to take the blame, he was moved and cried. And Tong Daguan, who was desperate for himself and hurried overnight, was also crying secretly, but he was not moved by his loyalty and courage, but because he was afraid of death.
He was in such a hurry to go to Taiyuan, of course, it was not his intention. It was when he was in Linfen that Tumen Pass was captured by Liao soldiers.
At that time, he knew that the Liao soldiers were going to enter the east of the Kou River in a big way, Taiyuan was in danger, and Yanmen was in danger!
However, in his opinion, the situation in Hedong has not reached the point of being out of control. Because the Liao soldiers who entered the Kou from Jingcheng were alone in depth, and they were running for a long distance, it was impossible to carry siege equipment. If they really want to attack Taiyuan City, they will have to spend a while building equipment. Even if there are no defenders in Taiyuan, it can still be supported for ten days and half a month.
With these ten days and half a month, Tong Guan has a way to relieve Taiyuan. Don't look at Tong Guan as a lone officer, but he has been supervising the army in Shuofang for many years, and in his eagerness, he can still ask for some reinforcements from Shuofang.
In addition, the mercenary cavalry that Zhang Yuan promised him was almost recruited. Now it is being led by Su Zhilian and Feng Mingshan, the generals of the Hexi Army, and is marching to the east of the river. This is a 5,000 cavalry regular soldier, not necessarily very elite, but the momentum is always very big. As long as you can get to Hedong in time, you will definitely be able to contain the Liao army besieging Taiyuan Mansion.
In the end, Tong Guan also risked the crime of "secretly communicating with Youzhou", and sent his henchmen to Tianjin with his handwritten letter to ask Wu Haogu for help, and asked Wu Haogu to send troops to fly fox.
Feihukou now belongs to Ulzhou in the Liao Kingdom, and is the junction of Taihang Mountain, Yan Mountain, and Heng Mountain. Strategic value is extremely important! Once it falls into the hands of Wu Haogu, it can threaten Datong Mansion to the north, and reinforce Daizhou (that is, Yanmen Pass) through Lingqiu and Bottle-shaped Pass to the east.
Therefore, once the Flying Fox Pass was attacked, Yelu Yanxi had to transfer the forces that oppressed Yanmen Pass to the Flying Fox Pass. In this way, the main force of the Hedong Army deployed on the front line of Yanmen Pass could counterattack Taiyuan. Even if Taiyuan is breached, there is no chance of victory in the face of the main force of the Hedong Army that withdrew from Yanmen Pass.
If Wang Yang, who was guarding Taiyuan, could seriously deploy defenses, and most of them could hold out until reinforcements were gathered, then the city of Taiyuan would be the place where the Liao army that had entered the city from Jingcheng to Kou would have been destroyed.
The plan is very good, but the premise of realizing this plan is that Tong Guan himself cannot let people besiege Taiyuan City.
He had to set up a Xuanfu Division in a relatively safe place so that he could dispatch troops and horses from all sides in the center. If he, the commander-in-chief, is besieged in Taiyuan and the news is out of reach, how can he command? In those days, there was no radio, no satellite communication. was surrounded, and he was stroking!
But such a simple reason, Kaifeng Mansion's "Emperor Genghis" didn't understand, as soon as he got the news that Tumen Pass was broken by the Liao army, he immediately sent several edicts, urging Tong Guan to enter Taiyuan City. It's as if one child can be a hundred thousand elite soldiers.
If Tong Guan was a civil official from a jinshi, of course he didn't have to pay attention to the emperor's edict. But he's a eunuch with no eggs! The ancestor of the Zhao family never said that he would not kill eunuchs! Zhao Ji wanted to kill him, and he didn't even need to go through the procedures of Yushitai and Dali Temple, and a bowl of poison would be done.
Although Zhao Ji is not a vicious son of heaven, Tong Guan can't be so unconscious! The official edict was issued one after another, what other trick could he have? I could only pray that Wang Yang would abandon the city and leave, so that the Liao army would enter Taiyuan first, and at the same time go to Taiyuan day and night.
This is really going to Tong Guan's old life, obviously I don't want to enter the city, but I have to hurry up, it's really my own life path, and I have to go to the end crying!
……
Crossing the north bank of the water, the army commanded by Xiao Gan was marching west with high morale. After entering the jurisdiction of Hedong Road, this Liao soldier who went deep behind the enemy was like a rat that crashed into the rice warehouse, and all of them were fat and fat.
Contrary to the situation in Hebei, where there are strong walls and clear fields, and Mao's grass valley cannot be beaten, Hedong doesn't seem to know that Song Liao is at war. Everywhere there is peace and ease, there are no strong walls, no clear fields, and no regimental training army. There were only a few panicked forbidden soldiers and van soldiers. Xiao Gan's soldiers arrived, and there was only a panicked wail.
The three cities that were rich (according to the standards of the Liao State), including Pingding Military City, Shouyang County, and Yuci County, were either abandoned or broken with one blow. So Xiao Gan's subordinates are all full of food. Walking on the avenue leading to Taiyuan Fucheng, everyone is full of energy.
The next stop is Taiyuan Fucheng! If it's the same as Pingding, Shouyang, and Yuci, then you'll be rich! Not only made a fortune, but also made immortal achievements!
In the eyes of these Xi warriors, if Taiyuan City is taken, at least half of the Hedong Road will be returned to the Great Liao Kingdom. This military exploit has not been seen for a hundred years in the Great Liao Kingdom. Of course, their commander Xiao Gan is soaring, and there is no problem in being crowned king, and the king of Xi Liubu (this is an official position) must be sent more than once, so why do you have to get one of the privy envoys of the North and South Courts, right? And the officers and soldiers below will definitely be able to reap a lot of benefits.
There was a rush of horses' hooves, this was the cavalry who spread the news, and most of it was good news! I don't know if the vanguard troops broke down what fortress and fortress passes, or how many weak soldiers of the Song people were broken?
"Master Yu! The head of Taiyuan City is full of flags, armor, and strict guards! ”
This time it's bad news!
Taiyuan City is heavily defended, I'm afraid it will not be easy to overcome!
But it's normal to think about it, Taiyuan has been a Xiongcheng since ancient times, and it is the central city of Hedong Road. Whether it is the transshipment envoy or the Xuanfu envoy, they are all placed in Taiyuan. How could such a place not be heavily armed?
"Have you ever fought each other?" Xiao Gan asked.
"Back to the Taishi, the Song people just held out, so there was no fighting."
"Not out?" Xiao Gan was stunned for a moment, "There is no ranger to explore the distance and stop the horse?" ”
"No, the Song people are all bad seeds, let my warriors of Da Liao shout and curse outside the city, and none of them dare to go out of the city to fight."
Miscellaneous? Xiao Gan glared at the triumphant guy, people are a bad breed, so why did Yanjing lose it? Yanjing is lost, even the Nanjing left behind Yelu Liduo was scared to see through the red dust, and now he is still knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures every day in the temple in Shangjing!
"Taishi, Taiyuan City should be an empty city, and the Song people must be bluffing." Xiao Gan's deputy, Xi Wangfu Xiangwen Xiao Bodhisattva Nu whispered beside him, "It's better to attack the city with all your strength and take Taiyuan Mansion City in one fell swoop!" ”
Xiao Gan frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Now we just caught the Song people off guard, although they are like entering a no-man's land, but there is no base, all rely on mobile combat to lead the Song people's noses." Once the city is fortified and protracted, there is a danger of falling into a heavy siege. ”
"Taishi, then let's bypass Taiyuan and go north to Xinzhou. As long as you occupy Xinzhou, you can attack Daizhou with His Majesty's army. As soon as Daizhou is obtained, hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers of our Daliao will be able to attack Hedong. When the time comes, it will not be difficult to take Taiyuan again. ”
Xiao Gan nodded, this method is safe, but it is too cheap to let Taiyuan go.
He thought for a while: "The Song people have always collected two taxes, one tax in summer and one tax in autumn. Now it is the season from spring to summer, and the summer tax from Hedong should not have been transported to Taiyuan. In addition, His Majesty has been stationed in the north for some time, and most of the original reserves in Taiyuan City are likely to be transported north. Let's leave a few thousand cavalry around Taiyuan, drive the people around Taiyuan into the city, and send hundreds of thousands of mouths to the Song people to eat. As long as you can eat up the grain in Taiyuan, it will not be difficult for Your Majesty to break the city again. ”
"Taishi's clever plan, then his subordinates will lead the troops around Taiyuan."
"Good! Bodhisattva slave, be careful, if the Song army approaches, immediately go north to Xinzhou. ”
……
"Xuan Shuai, there are Liao people's distant horse activities around Taiyuan!"
"What about Taiyuan City?" Tong Guan, who had been in the dust all the way, had arrived at the south of Taiyuan City, located in Qingyuan County on the west bank of the Fen River. Instead of continuing north, he sent his knights to inquire about the situation.
If the city of Taiyuan has already been occupied by the Liao, then thank God. Tong Guan will immediately be transferred to Datong Prison in the southwest of Qingyuan County, where he will set up the Xuanfu Division.
Datong Jian was an iron supervisor, and the iron tools produced were supplied to the entire Hedong Road. Most of the weapons used by the Hedong Army were also produced in Datong.
Therefore, Tong Guan wanted to control the Datong Prison as soon as possible, and used the weapons there to arm some regimental militia.
"Back to Xuanshuai, the city of Taiyuan is full of the flags of our Great Song Dynasty!"
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Tong Guan's heart was cold.
"Can you still enter the city?" Tong Guan's henchman Lu Qian knew his master's thoughts, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes!" The knight was a solid-eyed man, "There are not too many distant horses of the Liao people, and they are not very strong, as long as we wait for the armor, we can escort Xuan Shuai into the city." ”
The 300 knights who followed Tong Guan north to Taiyuan were all confidants brought out by Tong Guan from the Shuofang army, and they were also given manors, prepared horses, and equipped with Qingtang Qizi armor, and also learned from Hexi knights and Lingzhou knights to train to form an impact. If you want to protect Tong Guan into the city, it can still be done.
"What nonsense are you talking about......" Lu Qian's face was blank, as if he was about to curse. Tong Guan waved his hand, "Let's enter the city!" After entering the city, it is clean, only the city is not lost, and our family will not lose its holy grace. If we stay outside the city, if Taiyuan is lost, our family's head will be gone. ”
Tong Guan was right, if Taiyuan City was lost before he arrived, then Zhao Ji would not blame him, he was already working very the road.
But if he could enter the city without entering, seeing Taiyuan Xiongcheng being captured by the Khitan, no matter how good Zhao Ji was, he would not spare him.
As for hiding from the world or something, can you hide it? Tong Guan was surrounded by the horses sent by Zhao Ji. And as long as Taiyuan is not lost, Wang Yang can send someone to sneak out of the castle, take advantage of the night to swim west across the Fen River, and then he can report the news to the court of Kaifeng Mansion.
How will Tong Guan explain it then? People can come out, but you can't go in?
This black pot is not easy to carry, but you can't escape! Who made him not a martial artist, with his own people, and he could make a semi-independent way to hide from the black cauldron?
