Chapter 167: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
In the afternoon, Huo Qubing issued an order to pull out the village, of course, Wei Bu and Li Kang's attitude still disappointed him, Wei Bu directly didn't even see Huo Qu's face, and asked what order he had to give directly, Li Dang was the same, although he came, he was in a mood.
In the end, the hearts of these two people were not unified, and in the end, Huo Qubing had to give the order for the Che Cavalry Battalion to be stationed at Longmen Pass, while Wei Bu and Li Kang continued to wait for the support and military salaries of the imperial court.
In fact, Huo Qubing also thought about gritting his teeth and cutting the two of them first, but in the end it didn't work, Wei Bu and Li Dang were the two generals of the Hexi Army, equivalent to the right hand, at this time, they did both of them, not to mention the unstable morale of the army, it is estimated that before they got out of Longmen Pass, the machete of the imperial court had already come, and then their cronies cut Huo Quai.
If only one of them is handled, it is not appropriate, if this kind of eccentricity continues, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken, and it will only make the scout battalion collapse more and faster, so Huo Qubing can only let them stay in Longxi and wait for the military order, because Huo Quzhi's determination to go out of Longmen in the early morning of tomorrow has not yet been decided, because the decision is to go through the procedure.
Determined to attack, first of all, the main general will convene a meeting of the army, and prepare a report document of 800 li before the departure of the army to be sent to the imperial court urgently, so that the imperial court can grasp the dynamics in real time and adjust and deploy the entire battle situation, so Huo Quai's offensive documents are still dragging in his hand, and he has not made up his mind at all about this matter, he wants to go to Longmen Pass first.
……。
Longxi to Longmen Pass is not very far, but due to the rainy rain and Huo Quai's lack of determination, the speed of the march is also very slow, and the time to reach Longmen Pass is already night, and it is raining heavily.
"How's the other side?" Huo Quzhi stood on the city tower and looked at the dark Hexi grassland on the opposite side and asked Fu Liansheng, the military general of Longxi County: "I see that it is dark on the opposite side, and there seems to be no movement?" ”
Fu Liansheng looked at the torch and then stretched out his palm to pick up the eaves and said: "Back to the general's words, the opposite side looks at the dark patch, that is an illusion, according to the last general's horse exploration report, at least 30,000 troops have been gathered on the opposite side." ”
"Thirty thousand!" Huo Quzhi, Khazar and Han Tong were all surprised. On the opposite side is the 30,000 Xiongnu army, and Fu Liansheng only has 2,000 people stationed at Longmen Pass.
"It's too dangerous!" Han Tong was surprised.
Fu Liansheng smiled and continued: "What's so dangerous about this, this is written that the Hun army is from the Hutu Wang's department, and it was also from the talent department the day before yesterday, and isn't the army of the hussar general behind Longmen Pass?" So what will be feared in the end? ”
Fu Liansheng can be said to be a veteran, stationed at the border for ten years, and has never fought a big battle of 10,000 people, but he has fought a lot of small battles.
The rain continued to fall and crackle, and it was the first slightly heavier rain of the spring, and it came very suddenly.
"Report!" At this moment, Qi Dong Malier ran over and said to Huo Quai: "General, no, this rain is so heavy that the ground is wet, the tent is not easy to set up, and many sergeants have caught a cold!" ”
Huo Quzhi took a deep breath after hearing this, and suddenly a strong thought came to his head, that is, to start a war immediately.
But after all, this is not a child's house, it is more than 10,000 people, Huo Qubing is the first time to be a general, he has no experience, once something goes wrong, he really doesn't even have scum.
Looking at Huo Quzhi's resolute face, Khazar saw his thoughts, so he said: "General, although the last general is a Huns, he has also heard the story of Xiang Yu of the Han Dynasty. ”
"Oh?" Huo Quzhi looked at Kazar curiously.
Khazar said: "Xiang Yu was so heroic ...... back then. ”
That year, Xiang Yu served as the commander of the army that came to aid Zhao, and ordered the soldiers to bring enough food rations for three days each, and then ordered to smash all the cooking pots for the march. The soldiers were stunned, but Xiang Yu said that there was no pot, we could go lightly and immediately save the Zhao State that was in danger, as for eating, let the sergeant go to the Zhanghan military camp to get a pot to cook, the army crossed the Zhanghe River, and Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to sink all the ferries and burn all the marching tents at the same time.
Xiang Yu commanded the Chu army to launch 9 fierce battles with the Qin army, and the Chu army that crossed the river was all one as ten, ten as a hundred, all of them were fierce tigers in the mountains, and they all fought bravely. On the battlefield, the smoke and dust covered the sun, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The soldiers of the Chu army fought more and more fiercely, and the mountains shook and the blood flowed like a river. After many confrontations, the Chu army finally defeated the Qin army with fewer victories and killed the Qin general Su Jiao.
I don't know about this period of history, and even few people in the entire Han Dynasty know it, because the law of history is like this, the winner, the prince, the loser, although Xiang Yu is brave, but after all, he was once the enemy of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, of course, the first thing to do was to weaken the influence of this brave Xiang Yu.
But although the Han Dynasty has been weakened by emperors such as Gaozu, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing, the legend of Xiang Yu is still prevalent in some places among the people, including the Xiongnu at that time, because the Xiongnu did not contain this aspect, so it spread very quickly.
"Broken cauldron and shipwreck!" Huo Quzhi suddenly became interested in the story of Qajar, because he needed positive energy at this time.
Khazar looked into the distance and said, "Yes." After speaking, he looked at Huo Quzhi firmly and said: "It is rare for the general to have such a will at a young age, since the general's determination is to make great contributions in this battle, then the last general feels that he should have the courage of Xiang Yu to break the kettle and smash the pot and abandon the bag, only in this way, the soldiers will be fearless when they arrive in Hexi, and bravely rush to the enemy." ”
Listening to Khazar's words, Huo Quzhi pondered, and his face also put away the nineteen-year-old face, and became steady.
Seeing that Huo Qubing didn't speak, he frowned and looked at the dripping water under the eaves of the city tower, and Khazar continued: "I heard General Fu say that the Huns came two days ago, and the last general also understood, it has been raining in Longmen Pass for the past few days, and the enemy army on the opposite side must have an unstable foothold at this time, and there is spring rain tonight, and the last general feels that he was caught off guard and returns to ......"
"That's right!" Huo Quzhi suddenly turned his face to look at Khazar and said excitedly: "Why don't you fight?" In the past, it was also right to explore the virtual and the real, if we can't win, won't it be over if we turn around and go back to Longmen Pass? ”
Seeing that Huo Qu's illness had finally made up his mind, Khazar smiled.
Huo Qubing immediately called Han Tong, and ordered Han Tong to immediately write a letter of determination to fight, and then sent troops to Chang'an for 800 miles to be sent urgently, so that everyone should not set up any tents and prepare for battle directly.
But Gao Buzhi was very worried when he saw this: "General, since the determination and intention have been decided, the last general immediately notified the left general Wei Bu and the right general Li Kang, and asked them to rush to Longmen Pass overnight!" ”
"Forget it!" Huo Quzhi's face was not colored at all: "Let them be reserves!" ”
Reserves, this is a necessary establishment for marching operations, Huo Quzhi's original reserve was the 2,000 men and horses of Fu Liansheng, the defender of Longxi, and the 5,000 militia recruited by Longxi, but now that I think about it, Huo Qubing feels that it is still okay to use the scout battalion as a reserve, and now inform Weibu Li to come over, not to mention the war, it is estimated that it will take a day to fight just the mouth fight.
