Chapter 607: The Lord of Xizhou should be General Han
Two days later, west of Pingxiang County, tens of thousands of cavalry rebels were pursued by more than 10,000 cavalry Han troops, but they still failed to react from the flood and fled as if they had lost their courage.
The Han army was naturally happy to see it, Fuquan led the troops to chase all the way, and when they encountered the rebel cavalry who couldn't run down and fell alone, except for those who took the initiative to dismount and surrender on their knees, they were directly absorbed, and the other recalcitrant resistors were directly cut and killed, and they also gained a lot, and thousands of prisoners were killed in two days, and the results were not small.
Dozens of miles to the north, Han Sui's thousands of cavalry also arrived here by chance, but compared to the main forces of the Han army and the rebel army who were chasing each other and did not wait around at all, Han Sui's department obviously arranged scouts, and informed Han Sui of the news at the first time.
"The Han army will ride ten thousand? The number of Han troops can be seen really, is it certain? ”
After receiving the news of the scout, Han Sui seriously inquired about the number of cavalry pursued by the Han army, which was related to whether he could rescue or not. If the number of people pursued by the Han army is small, it is fine, if it is large, then he has to consider whether it is worth rescuing the main force of the rebel army led by Beigong Boyu and others with his thousands of people.
The scout named Cheng Gongying hesitated for a moment, but still said in a straight voice: "There should be no doubt, at most there are no more than ten thousand five!" ”
"When is that so?"
"Definitely!"
"Probe again, if there is any change in the Han army, find out quickly!"
"No!"
As the scout left under Han Sui's approving gaze, Han Sui stroked his short beard. Pondering deeply, although the tens of thousands of cavalry chasing each other may hinder his judgment in calculating the strength of the Han army, Han Sui was still sure that what the other party said was true, and the Han army also had more than 10,000 cavalry, and even said that the Han army had 15,000 cavalry.
Therefore, according to Han Sui's inference, unless the Han army is supported by the Central Plains, these 10,000 people are the entire strength of the Han army, and it stands to reason that he can deal with it. It's just that Han Sui has another plan in his heart, under the current situation, even if he may rely on the thousands of cavalry under his command to inflict heavy losses on the more than 10,000 cavalry troops, so as to continue to redeem the possible defeat, but Han Sui still won't do it, the top priority, he needs to preserve his strength and continue to expand.
"General, although the Han army is large and has the power of a great victory, our army still has thousands of horsemen, and it is not impossible to fight!" Lu Sheng said beside Han Sui, as far as he is concerned, although he hates Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and other Qiang generals, but in the current situation, the main force of the rebel army still has to be saved, otherwise, the rebels are likely to die because of this, which is not what Lu Sheng wants to see at all.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." Han Sui comforted, he naturally would not order the only thousands of cavalry under his command at this moment to accompany the main force of the rebels to the funeral, for him, although the main forces of the rebels are good, but they are not as loyal as these thousands of henchmen, if he can't save the main force of the rebels, Han Sui will definitely not joke with these thousands of cavalry.
"No!"
Seeing Koji Sheng saluting and riding his horse aside, Han Sui nodded and thought about it.
There is a lot of wind and sand in the northwest, and Han Sui doesn't know how much sand and soil is blowing on his face, but he has long been used to it, and as far as his eyes can see, there is a belt of trees a few miles in front of him, and suddenly Han Sui has a plan.
But he saw Han Sui pointing to the woods and said to the generals: "Order all the troops to cut down trees, tie them to the tail of the horse, and follow me to rescue." ”
As soon as the words fell, these cavalrymen, under the orders of their respective generals, rushed to the grove, they were all Han Sui's henchmen, and it could be said that they trusted him the most, so they did not choose not to do it because of Han Sui's strange order.
For about a quarter of an hour, these thousands of horsemen all fulfilled Han Sui's orders very well, and the strange decorations on the tails of each horse's tail made people feel that this was not a regular army at all.
Soon, seeing that all the soldiers and generals were ready, Han Sui did not delay, and after giving the order, he led the army to rush directly to the flank of the Han army.
Not far away, tens of thousands of horsemen came one after another, and seeing the Han army behind them, they were not prepared to withdraw at all, and the rebels were all terrified, feeling that there was no way to live. However, even then, they were not ready to fight back.
"Pingxi beware, Yongshi County has been occupied by the rebels, and if you go further west, you may be in danger of being attacked by the Han army."
During the march, the Han army had foot generals, and seeing that the army had passed through Pingxiang County, Fuquan had no intention of stopping, so he hurriedly admonished. They don't know the specific strategy of this big battle, Warrior County is still occupied by the rebels at this time in their memory, and if they continue to go deeper now, it is very likely to enter behind enemy lines, if the rebels have a rear hand to prepare, they may not be able to pursue but be ambushed, so they must be cautious.
After hearing this, Fu Quan laughed and said: "There is no need for this, let the army chase it with all its might, if there is no accident, at this moment, the warrior county town has been owned by Wu Ziyuan." ”
Wu Ziyuan?
Recovering the Warrior County?
When everyone around them heard this, they were surprised, but they quickly reacted to Fuquan's meaning, and after some conjecture, they knew that Fuquan left Wu Yi to lead 5,000 infantry soldiers mainly from Banyu to guard Pingxiang County, which obviously did not have much defensive pressure.
As long as the bridgehead in the west of Hanyang County is in hand, the Han army will be fine even if it goes west, and on the contrary, if the rebels flee outside the warrior county and see that this straw that was supposed to save their lives flies, you can imagine how it will affect the morale of the rebels.
Suddenly, I don't know who coaxed and shouted: "Pingxi's clever plan is to set Liangzhou, and the Han and Qiang rebels will be wiped out!" ”
This sentence quickly attracted the attention of the other Han generals around them who realized that this was a good opportunity to compliment Fuquan, and they also echoed loudly and loudly, and all of a sudden, it spread farther and farther, and soon, the more than 10,000 cavalry cavalry of the Han army also shouted.
"Pingxi's clever plan is to settle Liangzhou, and the Hanqiang rebels will be wiped out from here!"
"Pingxi's clever plan is to settle Liangzhou, and the Hanqiang rebels will be wiped out from here!"
"Pingxi's clever plan is to settle Liangzhou, and the Hanqiang rebels will be wiped out from here!"
……
Originally, Fuquan wanted to order someone to cut off this compliment, don't say it again, but later found that the morale of the whole army was boosted because of this, and it was no longer forbidden, this kind of pursuit war, it is more necessary for the pursuing side to have amazing momentum, so that the pursued person has no mood to resist at all, and finally like a boiled frog in warm water, it will be completely swallowed by the pursuing party.
It's just that the good mood of the Han army obviously won't last long, and the Han cavalry who saw it suddenly found that in the north of their own army, there was an unknown number of cavalry appeared, and they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly saw this and sent someone to send a message to Fuquan.
"Report! Most of the cavalry in the north appeared, and the number is unknown! ”
Hearing this, the Han army was all shocked, even Fuquan himself, and he was also shocked when he saw the cavalry in the north. At this time, Fu Quan knew the strength of the Han army in Liangzhou best, and he knew that the cavalry would definitely not be the Han army, because the cavalry of the Han army in other counties should not appear here at all, or it would not be able to rush here at all.
Moreover, the smoke and dust in the distance, which was the dust raised by countless horses' hooves, and the bursts of horses' hooves, were like thunder, looking at its might, at least there were 10,000 horsemen, and this number was equal to the number of soldiers and horses under his command.
Fu Quan understood that after deducting his own cavalry, he would gather all the other cavalry of the Han Dynasty in Liangzhou, and it was estimated that he would not be able to make up cavalry of this scale. Therefore, if you look at it this way, the origin of this cavalry is self-evident, and it is naturally just a rebel army.
"Wenhe, in your opinion, what is the current situation?" Fu Quan asked Jia Xu beside him for the first time, although he had some thoughts in his heart, he still wanted to see if there was any hope to continue to expand the results of the battle.
Jia Xu looked at the cavalry, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Pingxi has already dealt with it, why do you need to ask." ”
"Is that really the case?"
"The enemy's situation is unknown, and if you act rashly, you may cause a catastrophe!"
"Alas!" Fu Quan sighed and said, "Hateful! It's a great achievement, only one step away, it's really hateful! ”
"It's a long time coming, don't worry about Pingxi, I think Wu Ziyuan has returned to Warrior County, and now there are more than 30,000 rebels who have been killed, and it should be a big victory!"
"If you have another 20,000 fine riders, how can you stop here?" Fu Quan was stunned, and then ordered the soldiers behind him: "Order the whole army, retreat, and retreat five miles!" ”
After giving the order, Fuquan stared at the rebel cavalry again, only to see that in the smoke and dust, the dense banners fluttered, and there were countless armored cavalry stopping to watch, the momentum was not small, and at the same time, it also made Fuquan more lost.
If the Han army continues to march now, then it is very likely to face the danger of being outflanked by the rebels from both sides, and the rebels have more troops on both sides than their own, in order to be on the safe side, Fuquan can only take the initiative to attack, to the current passive wait-and-see appearance, which has also been recognized by the generals of the Han army.
The Han army is not very clear about the specific strength of the rebels, and it is not surprising that in addition to the main force of the rebels who invaded Hanyang, they still have a certain number of soldiers and horses left in the rear to guard the lair. Therefore, they did not even think that this was a trick by the rebels, and at this moment, they did not even have the idea of taking the initiative to send troops to engage the unknown number of cavalry of the rebels.
Of course, even if someone was bold and wanted to take the risk of temptation, Fu Quan would not agree, because after he looked closely, he also saw the banner on the unknown number of cavalry of the rebel army, the flag with the word "Han" written on it, and clearly told him that it was the troops of Han Sui, another important general of the rebel army.
According to Jia Xu's speculation, the rebels are extremely likely to send a partial division to attack Beidi County, if the commander of this partial division is Han Sui, with Han Sui's intelligence, he may have discovered that something was wrong, or heard some news, and brought the cavalry that originally attacked Beidi County to rescue the main force of the rebels. Therefore, Fuquan will never take the risk and send troops to test the rebel troops, because the other party is very likely to really have 10,000 horsemen, and sending cavalry to test at this time is undoubtedly to send him to death, so Fuquan will not do this loss-making business.
"General, look, the Han army has withdrawn!"
Lu Sheng pointed to the retreating Han army of more than 10,000 cavalry in Fuquan, shouting loudly, still thinking about the layout, if it was Han Sui, who was fighting with the Han army, how to deal with it, heard this, and hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that the Han army had really withdrawn, he was also relieved, relieved, joy, and not overflowing.
If Fu Quan really led his troops to fight him, he really didn't think about how to rely on these thousands of cavalry to deal with the elite cavalry that the Han army had just won. However, now there is no need to think about this, the Han army still can't afford to lose, once the situation is wrong, it will still be as he thought, mainly to retain strength, he finally guessed correctly.
"Hahaha!" Han Sui suddenly laughed and said: "I have heard that in the past, Fuliuchuan used the plan of Doctor Luan Zhi of Jin to break the Chu army, and did the opposite, forcing the barbarians of Bajun to surrender. Today, if he knows, I will use this strategy to force his army back, I don't know what to think? ”
Seeing the striking "Fu" general flag in the retreating Han army, Han Sui knew that Fu Quan, the main general of the Han army in Liangzhou, was also in this Han army. At the moment, thinking of the plan he used, it was the strategy he had heard of Fu Quan's use of the rebellious Ban Yu barbarians, but now he was learning and using it, and scared Fu Quan, a person who used this strategy, to frighten away, this is also a kind of beautiful talk, and when I think about it in my heart, it is a refreshing taste, indescribable.
"The general's clever plan, in my opinion, the lord of Xizhou should be the general. Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and other thieves have a large army, but they were defeated by the weak soldiers of Fuquan children, and the real guinea dogs are also! Lack of success, more than failure! Lu Sheng took this opportunity to praise loudly, and at the same time glanced at the soldiers behind him, at this time, it was a great opportunity for him to build momentum for Han Sui, the leader of the newly promoted rebel army, how could he let it go?
Han Sui glanced at Ko Sheng with a little meaning, and said modestly: "This matter is not enough to worry about, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and other generals are all civil and military talents, I compare with the two, and the difference between cloud and mud is also!" ”
"How can Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and other thieves be compared to generals? Generals must not be humble! Koji Sheng drank, then looked left and right, felt that the time had come, and the preparation was almost over, and said loudly again: "The lord of Xizhou, be General Han!" ”
After finishing speaking, Ko Sheng shouted again, and then looked at the cronies left and right, giving a look, and the people on the left and right heard this, and also shouted, this time, they immediately drove the thousands of horsemen present, and shouted one after another, among which the tun chief who was exonerated by Han Sui shouted the most enthusiastically.
"The lord of Xizhou, be General Han!"
"The lord of Xizhou, be General Han!"
"The lord of Xizhou, be General Han!"
……
Seeing this, Han Sui stopped with a smile, and then never mentioned the matter, first sent scouts, stepped forward to contact Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, but he continued to wait and see the Fuquan department, only to confirm that they were no longer pursuing, then the strength of the army was revealed, and the main force of the rebels withdrew.
In this battle, for Han Sui, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, because the shout just now invisibly increased his prestige.
With Fuquan as the backdrop for the main force of the rebels led by the weak soldiers to break Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, but he used a strategy to scare Fuquan back, compared with the two, whether it is the current thousands of horsemen or the main force of the rebels, they all know how to choose. And Han Sui's purpose in bringing troops to Pingxiang this time was naturally to annex and encroach on the main force of the rebel army, which had already been defeated.
Since Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Bian Zhang's generation can't make good use of the advantages in their hands, then don't blame him for being unkind, this Liangzhou, if it can't be integrated together, will be a plate of scattered sand in the future, and it will be broken by the Han army.
Of course, at the moment, in Han Sui's eyes, in addition to secretly integrating the Liangzhou rebels, that is to find a way to deal with Fuquan, through this battle, Han Sui knows that the scourge of Fuquan is definitely the biggest scourge he has encountered in Liangzhou so far.
